Sincere advice required!
Each year IARCS organizes a series of competitive exams based on computing languages. I have great passion for computers and hence it is natural that I was attracted towards it.
Anyways, to cut the long story short, I was selected in ZCO 2010 and I have qualified for INOI 2010. If anyone wants more info on the competitions, check it out here-->

Of the 2 problems asked, I was able to solve one. Maybe, the other required the knowledge of trees which I didnt have. Anyways, I want to leave no stones unturned and get myself prepared nicely for the INOI and I'll be needing your help guys.
Following are two past year papers of INOI:-

I gave gone through the questions. This is programming competition. You must know all the data structures starting from arrays to graphs. You must know all the algorithms sorting, searching, backtracking, gridy and especially dynamic algorithms. More over you must know how to implement these in C++. In this, reading the input from file and writing to file is of utmost important. So I suggest expertize in iostream.
Also I will suggest the book "Programming challenges" by Steven Skiena and Miguel Revilla.

Thanks for your reply Manoj. I would definitely go through the book if possible.
