The 2005 contest was a small affair at the Dunedin with only three teams competing; two from Dunedin and one from Christchurch. Nevertheless the teams were keen and worked very hard generating quite an intense and exciting environment between them. Things on the technical had been equally exciting! Early problems with machine configuration and other things which required the authoring of extremely long and complex command line instructions to rectify had been overcome and Dunedin started bang on time. After that it was easy

Team Better Than Optimal (University of Otago) were the Dunedin Site Champions and came 11th equal in the region.
Team Bitwise (University of Canterbury) came second locally and 27th equal in the region.
Team 10th Time Lucky (University of Otago) weren't and came third locally and 27th equal in the region.

Full results can be obtained from the main ACM Programming Contest site.
