[Edu-sig] collection of ACM programming problems

[Furman Smith]

Jeffrey Elkner wrote that he wanted a perfect
case study to add to his free content textbook 
"How to think like a computer scientist"
( http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/thinkCSpy/ ) --
something instructive, easy to understand, fun,
and illustrating the programming ideas introduced 
earlier in the book.  "Perfect" is a strong word
but please allow me to mention that I've enjoyed
reading some of the archived problems from the ACM 
International Collegiate Programming Contests;
links to the various volumes of problems can be
found at http://acm.fi.uva.es/problemset/ .
