The 2012 British Informatics Olympiad

BIO 2012 poster BIO 2012 will take place November - December 2011 and April 2012. The competition is open to all students in full-time pre-university education in mainland Britain, and involves solving problems against the clock, using nothing more than pen, paper and a computer.

The BIO consists of three stages. The first is a 3-hour test, the British Informatics Olympiad, which takes place in schools during November-December 2011. This involves solving a range of problems using a computer. The second stage is the final, which will be held in Cambridge from 13-15 April 2012. The top four finalists will make up the team to travel to the 2012 International Olympiad in Informatics, hosted by Italy.
