There is a you tube video for it. However, this year all the questions were obscure history of computing trivia questions. Basically every team was stumped by every question. Not at all like last years questions. There was a funny moment where the teams from Google and Intel were both stumped on a question. The moderator asked if anyone in the audience knew the answer, someone shouted it out, then everyone said "Hey he just Googled it!". So the Google team said "Hey we should be awarded the points", but then the Intel team said "Hey he is using an Intel processor, so we should get the points".
