    US News & World Report[^]:

    Known as the “Hunger Games” of computer programming, applicants must pass two online logic exams to be invited to a month-long orientation than runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week during which prospective students are given a series of increasingly difficult problems they must solve.

    "And may the odds be ever in your favor"

    OK, it's better than a 21-day book at least.

      I think these days IT people failed to bring true creativity and waste their time in language creation. It may be a sign of a saturation time of an IT invention.

        Read the article; this is all about getting grant money from the government.

          Useless News and Worthless Reporting:

          Only those who show steady progress and certain stick-to-itiveness qualities are selected to enroll, typically about one-third of those invited to the orientation. So far, out of the 350 students who participated in an orientation, 250 have been accepted.

          'one third', '250 out of 350'.:confused: :doh: I guess the sunshine who wrote this went to mathcamp instead of a traditional math class. :-\

          Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

            Either that, or the other possibility you appear not to have considered - that the intake this time was above average. It does say that typically a third of students receive an invite.

              That's not an education, that's a filter.
