t2′09 Challenge Winners

As promised earlier here are the winners:

Timo Hirvonen from Tampere, Finland was the first one to solve the t2′09 Challenge. The feat that he pulled off was absolutely amazing. His solution was both fast AND elegant.

The second ticket goes to Mathieu Gaspard, France. He is the official Mr. Elegance. His solution was well written and included (among other things) multiple ways to solve the Challenge Phase 2.

Congratulations to both winners!

We would also like to thank everybody who attended. If you feel that you would have an interesting Challenge for t2'10 please let us know :)

t2′09 Challenge Stats – EOF

This is the last post regarding the Challenge stats. We are sorry about the silence but basically the situation is exactly the same as week ago.

Around 50-60 contestants have been able to solve the first phase. Nine contestants have been able to solve all the remaining phases as well. So there is still room for one solution (if you are after the ticket that is).

We will wait two more weeks and will announce the second winner on 5th of October. So be quick and you will still have a chance to make it to the “elegance evaluation” round :)

Around 50 contestants have been able to solve the first phase. Nine contestants have been able to solve all the remaining phases as well. Congrats to everybody!

As stated at http://www.t2.fi/challenge/ the Advisory Board will select another winner among the next ten correct answers. The criteria for the other selection is the elegance of the answer.

So be quick and you will still have a chance to make it to the "elegance evaluation" round :)

t2′09 Challenge Stats – Weekend 2009-09-06 – 2009-09-06

Only three contestants have been able to solve all the phases of the Challenge so far. Congrats!

We would also like to remind you that if you are after a free ticket it makes sense to pay attention to your write up as the second ticket is given away to a contestant who is able to come up with the most elegant solution.
