My sister is famous
Or at least, the Star Ledger quoted Kate Renaud about why she does programming contests.
"My friends ask, 'Why would you do that?'" said Kaitlin Renaud, 20, a Princeton junior, admitting it's difficult to explain to non-programmers the allure of rising early on a Sunday morning to do battle on a screen. "I really can't tell them. ... But it's fun."
I guess that's better than "because my brother makes me."
Apparently, she finished 13th with a 2 person team. Rutgers places were somewhat disappointing, its best team at 12th. Cornell absolutely dominated the contest, finishing all the problems with more than half the time remaining. The 2007 standings are here.
