So there are 12 teams received the awards. There are many teams having a close race therefore they receives the same rank (rank 14 for teams who solved 5 problems, rank 26 for teams who solved 4 problems, and rank 44 for teams who solved 3 problems).

Currently I'm compiling my team (YoiAC, Bina Nusantara) story for this event. It'll take a while. This time I video taped some of the event. I wonder whether I should publish the video as well...

Hello Fayyaz, thanks for the compliment :). Our team wasted too much time on debugging my buggy code on problem A and G :(. FYI, many people at TopCoder think that this year ACM ICPC Problem Set is more on to coding skills than algorithmic skills. See this TopCoder thread.
For the video I captured the IBM Tech Trek titled "The Future of Technology" but don't expect too much since it was handy-camed using my hand (not tripod) :( and the battery went out at the "Second Life" demo :P. I really hope IBM released their event video on this.

Nice work on your efforts. Although i was expecting you people to perform better but still it's a world class event so reaching this far is still plausible. Anxiously waiting for your team story and event video. I would like to add that your posting of ICPC problems and solutions were very helpful. It helps people like me understand algorithms and problems not known and learn from them. Keep the good work going and all the best for future regards, Fayyaz (Pakistan)
