Sup geeks ;)

Been working on a little side-project to surface some of mine & my friends favorite problems of all time. These are the problems that my friends I would give each other because we found them so interesting. We consider them to be extremely high-quality, so if you're looking for some extra practice problems please give the list a look.

Thank you to: lrvideckis ssk4988 Java Xylenox lightseba & everyone else who has contributed problems!

Also I'm open to problem contributions...

When someone who has never written a computer program asks you "what is competitive programming?" how do you respond?

I usually find myself saying some variation of: "You're solving a puzzle by giving instructions to a computer."

I feel my response is inadequate and doesn't provide a very good description of what competitive programming actually is.

I'm curious what you guys say when asked this question.
