Saint Joseph Street • Rapid City, SD 57701-3995 Phone: (605) 394-6082/2554 • Fax: (605) 394-6177 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 3, 2003 Contact: Steve Buchholz, Public Information Manager, 394-6082 Local Student Competes in ACM Programming Contest Ben Cutler of Hot Springs is a member of a South Dakota Tech team that placed 14th in the regional American Computing Machinery Programming Contest held in November. Cutler is majoring in Computer Science and Math at South Dakota Tech, an engineering and science university in Rapid City, S.D. In the regional competition, the students answered such problems as "Determine the number of stars that can be inscribed in a circle with a given number of points on the circumference, " "Find the minimum number of steps required to convert a number to a palindrome, " and "Determine the frequencies in a signal from a series of observations." The teams had one computer and five hours to solve nine challenging problems. The Tech teams logged countless hours of hard work in the months leading up to the event. The programming contest requires many skills. All team members must be able to write programs in C++ computer language, and each team needs members with algorithm development skills, strong mathematical ability, and at least one person who is very skilled at debugging the programs the team writes to solve each problem. #30# South Dakota Tech News 501 E.
