Well, almost everybody.
| Car racing | (2008. 05. 04. 3:07) |
The Teams had to build a city and a car, then they managed to drove the cars from point A to point B as fast as possible. The most of the teams drove their cars straight to te walls and houses, but some of them solve the problem successfully.
The task also included, that the teams had to visualize the city in 3D.
During the car racing the Red Bull girls arrived and gave some energy drink to the contestants.

| Zeroth day | (2008. 05. 03. 5:30) |
It was long and hectic , as usual on the zeroth day.
The most of the teams have arrived,mosty known faces, so they knew the drill with the Registration and Hardware Check.
For safety reasons, all hardware had to be registered and checked after the arrival, but thanks to the online submitting the wait time has been drastically reduced.
The teams spent the afternoon with setting up their computers and working environment for the upcoming 24 hours, starting tomorrow (well, technically it is already tomorrow, so today) at 9 AM local time.
While the preparation of the network by our technicians was still ongoing, the teams have settled down in their rooms or in the chill-out corner on the "bean-bags", provided by one of our sponsors.
The Problem Sets have been finally printed in the early hours, and been prepared for the participants by a little demonic help.
