Unable to find a suitcase that would permit me to lay by blazer flat, and packing two-thirds of the said luggage suboptimally, I was left to face the scrutiny of my teammates with regards to the "largest suitcase I have ever seen" which I struggled to wheel up the stairs of Perouse Lodge.
Following a problem session with Whiz Kid, Goldy and (Lol)Nic, the six of us (including Jarrah and Chris) trooped down to Zen, the local Japanese restaurant for dinner. Upon returning back to the Lodge , we marveled at the $120 worth of breakfast each of us had to spend over the next 6 mornings whilst using the mirror in our room as a whiteboard in an ad hoc problem session of the IOI practice problems.
After collectively venting our chagrin at the idea of a "paperless contest", only 3 of us are left to mull over a historical artefact in the form of the IOI 1988 competition booklet. A 5 hour exam follows tomorrow morning at 0900, however, so perhaps I should get some sleep. Perhaps ... perhaps.
