High School Team Wins 2nd in Programming Contest

Juniors Dan Warner, Tejas Rao, Jon Roche, and Josh Michel represented AMSA at the High School Programming Contest at Fitchburg State University on Dec. 6. AMSA placed second out of 42 teams.

The contest consisted of 12 problems. Each team was given three hours to solve as many problems as possible, with a single computer as the sole tool. They were expected to develop different programs to solve these problems.

For example, the AMSA team developed one program to find different bicycle-to-gear ratios.
