First Annual Google
Programming Contest
In celebration of more than three years of delivering the best search
experience on the Internet, Google is sponsoring the first annual
Google Programming Contest.
Grand Prize
* $10,000 in cash
* VIP visit
to Google Inc. in Mountain View, California
* Potentially run your prize-winning code on
Google's multi-billion document repository (circumstances
permitting)
The Challenge
Google is providing a selection of about 900,000 web pages in
pre-parsed and raw format, together with a "ripper" program
that provides a framework for processing the pre-parsed data. Your
mission is to write a program (most likely by adding code to the
ripper) that does something interesting with the data, in such a way
that it would scale to a web-sized collection of documents. Part of
your job is to convince us of why your program is interesting and why
it will scale; other than that, you're free to implement whatever
strikes your fancy...
