Today I got a link to Google's Code Jam Europe 2006.
"The tournament is a timed contest where all participants compete online to solve the same problems under the same time constraints."

So why is it so exciting? Well, I will quote them:
"This exciting contest gives you the chance to show off your coding talent for ?30,000 in cash and prizes" =)

Although we missed the registration time you can still see the challenges and try them without competing…

That's all for now :-)
