The moment of truth has arrived. We are now ready to announce the<br />
results from the <strong>NACLO</strong> <strong>2008</strong> open round. 763 students participated this<br />
year, compared to 195 last year)<br />
As you can imagine, the competition was incredible. We are amazed at<br />
the quality of some of the submissions. We are also happy to see that<br />
students tried to do their best even when they were unable to complete a<br />
problem. Most students were able to get partial credit for partially<br />
completed problems.<br />
Problems C and E were the hardest and A and B were the easiest. The<br />
average scores were as follows:<br />
A 67%<br />
B 69%<br />
C 21%
D 38%<br />
E 21%<br />
The overall average of all students was 39.2%.<br />
At least one student achieved a full score on each problem.<br />
224 students scored at least 90% on problem A.<br />
282 students scored at least 90% on problem B.<br />
16 students scored at least 90% on problem C.<br />
39 students scored at least 90% on problem D.<br />
13 students scored at least 90% on problem E.<br />
