Old and young students!

I have heard that Microsoft always have a World contest for college students every year. And this year's final round will be in Yokohama in March(?) next year in Japan. I forgot the contest's name. They have tests on programming skills, algorithms, handling skills on their products, ideas in software engineering, etc. in the first and second rounds.
Anyone of lovely students of all ages here has joined the contest ? :biggrin:
