La Folle course informatique
Minds and ideas jostle and intertwine at the Folle course informatique, a computer-programming competition which will be in its seventh edition this fall. Formerly reserved for students at the Université de Sherbrooke where the project was founded, it now attracts over 300 participants from other establishments in Quebec, the United states and even France. A unique type of challenge, the Folle course informatique puts competitors in a situation where resource management becomes a major constraint and compromise is an integral part of success. During this rally, which lasts a maximum of eight hours, participating teams must resolve ten different problems and, as the race does not take place in one location, all that is needed to take part is a computer and an Internet connection. The event, which it is hoped will become world-wide, requires at least nine months to prepare.
