IPSC, the nightmare of my dreams (or more precisely of their lack) is finally over. And I am really glad. Preparing tasks D (data mania) and J (jukebox) was really hard. Especially the former will be haunting me for a while and I will never ever look at SQL statements with the same eyes. During the final preparation night, we found so many differences and stupid mistakes in seemingly easy SQL statements that it it impossible to count (ok, it is possible. Roughly as number of a commits affecting inputs/outputs of that task). Just check the solutions for a quick peek over this nightmarish world of queries and results.
So what to do now? Just continue with the second nightmare -- my candidacy exam for which I need to finish my writeup in one week.
