The Computing Center of the Higher School of Engineering and Technology at the University of La Laguna hosted the third Santa Cruz de Tenerife Informatics Olympiad on Friday, January 24th. The winner was Adrián González García, a student at IES Adeje. The pair of Adrián González García and the winner of the third Las Palmas Olympiad, both organized by the School of Computer Engineering at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, will represent the Canary Islands in the Spanish Informatics Olympiad. Second place went to Adriano Porcheddu from IES Ichasagua, and third place to Víctor Perestelo González from IES Viera y Clavijo.
The test, which was in-person and individual, lasted a total of two hours. It consisted of solving as many of the given exercises as possible in the shortest amount of time, using either the C++ or Python programming languages.
