Google uses Code Jam as job interview
Tom Sanders writes in vnunet.com:
Polish university student Marek Cygan has won this year's Google Code Jam, the annual programming contest held last Friday at the California headquarters of the search firm.
Dutch student Erik-Jan Krijgsman finished second, followed by Petr Mitrichev from Moscow's State University.
Cygan beat 99 fellow programmers from 32 countries to the first prize of $10,000. The contestants were selected from a group of 14,500 hopefuls from around the world who entered the contest through the internet.
The programmers had 75 minutes to create a solution for three problems, followed by a 10-minute final round. Contestants were allowed to use the Java, C++, C# or VB.NET programming languages.
