Story: Photos: Eastern Europe dominates Google Code Jam
Google code jam
I did the GCJ last year. In foreign countries, it is also an English contest!
All problems are written in English and you waste a lot of precious time if you don't understand quickly and accurately the problem statement. (there are 3 problems to be solved in 60-75 mn).
Some countries don't even bother learning English to enter such competitions (eg Spain, Italy or France).
