| Posted: 01 Feb 2010 02:07 AM PST (2 of 3) UR and RIT qualified for this area's regional by finishing first and second among 11 college teams in a local competition at State University College at Fredonia. Worldwide, local contests attracted more than 300,000 students. Speed can be a tie-breaker. If more than one team has the highest number of solved problems, the team that did them fastest wins. In the northeast regional, UR and MIT both scored a perfect eight out of eight but UR did so faster. So much faster, in fact, that UR beat MIT's total time by more than two hours. Problem No. 8 posed: "What does blood have to do with a party? Very simple: Blood, brood, brook, brock, broch, broth, booth, booty, borty, porty, party. ... Two successive words differ by exactly one letter. Your job is to compute such sequences." The teams had to figure out a computer program to identify these types of pairings in other words, a sequence of words one letter apart among the 233,614 words sandwiched between "blood" and "party" in Webster's Second International Dictionary. "I came up with a program that goes through lists and finds out how many words were in between," Huo said, matter-of-factly. Problems won't get any easier for the finals. Some teams might not solve any and no team is expected to solve them all, said Heintzman, director of strategy at the IBM Software Group. Rising stars UR's brainy trio is like a well-oiled machine. They know each other's strengths so well that each instinctively tackles the piece of a problem that he's best at. Christopher, the idea guy, prioritizes problems as he sketches out problem-solving strategies on scrap paper. Huo, who already has a job lined up with Google, shows creative bursts of brilliance that he pounds into answers at the keyboard. Tang, the most professorial, sometimes thinks out loud and then with rapid precision types in the correct computer code. Christopher and Huo, three-year veterans of the team, are seniors majoring in computer science. Tang, a sophomore who joined last year, is majoring in computer science and math.
