Google Code Jam 2011 starts this Friday

Google Code Jam 2011 kicks off on May 6, with Googlers worldwide dedicating their 20% time to prepare algorithmic challenges for over 10,000 contestants in the Qualification Round. The problems, crafted by Google employees, blend real-world scenarios with algorithmic puzzles, ranging from simple coding tasks to complex flow algorithms and number theory. The creation process involves selecting a story to ground the problem, formulating a clear problem statement with input from native and non-native English speakers, and ensuring the problem's robustness through extensive testing with varied test cases. Each problem undergoes a thorough vetting process, requiring multiple correct and intentionally incorrect solutions to confirm the reliability of the test data. This meticulous preparation results in a diverse array of challenges that reflect the creativity and ingenuity of Google's engineers, with hopes of inspiring participants and potential future problem creators. Interested software engineers can register for the event, with the first set of problems available during the Qualification Round.
