πΊπΏ The 2026 International Olympiad in Informatics starts today in Tashkent.
π The IOI is the ultimate coding competition for high-school students. Years ago, many members of the Telegram team won medals there.
π€ To support the best young programmers in the world, Telegram will award the 235 winners exclusive digital collectibles β Algorithm Cups β worth at least $117,000 in total.
π Itβs fitting that IOI is hosted in Uzbekistan β the homeland of Al-Khwarizmi, the father of algebra whose name became the word βalgorithm."
Let the best algorithm win! πͺ
