We haven't been able to blog much over the past few days because IOI and quarantine (where they take our phones and internet, and the local media makes a story titled something like "How can the contestants cope without their beloved phones and internet" -_-).
However, now the competition is over, and as a team, Australia did really well. We achieved three silvers (with an almost gold :( ) and a bronze on the official team, and 2 bronzes on the unofficial team. I almost made bronze, being a few points off the cutoff. For day 1, I didn't do as well as I wanted to, however, I kinda made up for it in day 2, being able to score 90 for the problem called "robots", except I missed the easy problem, and I ended up =153rd.
The next day was the second excursion to Australia zoo ... that we didn't go to. Instead of having to wake up at 6:30 - 7 to make it on time, we only had to wake up 8 - 8:30 to be able to eat breakfast. For our 'excursion' we went to South Bank for movies - at really cheap prices ($5.50) - and watched "Man of Steel". So apparently, RSS feeds deliver video data straight to the reader. TIL
The IOI is now almost over, with just the closing ceremony to go. It has been a fun experience competing and meeting other teams, and we were lucky to get a guide who has been awesome for the whole camp.
