61 students on 24 teams representing 5 schools competed in the Third Annual NMU Programming Contest on Saturday 29 March 2003: For each problem, the first number indicates the minutes it took that team to solve the problem; the second number indicates the the number of failed attempts by that team on that problem prior to solving it. The minutes are added together and a 20-minute penalty is added for each failed attempt of a problem that was eventually solved. No penalty is added for any problem that was never solved. The teams are ranked by the number of problems that they complete. Ties are broken in favor of the team with the smallest number of minutes.
