It's over! IEEEXtreme 5.0 is over. Tired students from all over the world including 5 UAB Students have gone home to sleep after a grueling 24 hour coding contest. Results are not final yet but it appears that the UAB teams are in top 3rd of the participants. The UAB teams found the problems challenging but solvable although they (and other participants) had problems with the limited feedback from the Mooshak contest tool. Congratulations and applause for our competitors. Thanks to Professors Vaughn, Marstrander, and Green for serving as Proctors.
