TCO05 Did You Know?

First and only Algorithm Championship so far for Eryx from Poland.

Jessie’s [jmpld40] first TCO! And the first time we had a logo designed by the community - which lead, of course, to creating a design community.

RalphFurmaniak showed off what a colorful character he was at TCOs.
