UCPH Team wins the Danish Championship in Programming for the fifth time
Once again the team "Lambdabamserne" from University of Copenhagen - two Math and one Computer Science student - can call themselves Danish Champions in programming. 35 teams competed on Saturday 10 October 2015.
Throughout most of the five hours of programming an Aarhus University team, Beyond Balmer's Creek from AU, led the competition. But with 15 minutes left, Lambdabamserne handed in their sixth and decisive assignment which was approved and made them the only team in Denmark who solved 6 assignments of the total 10 assignments.

One experienced and two new 'Lambdabamser'
This year's team consisted of DIKU student, Nicolai Nebel Jørgensen, and two MATH students, Jakob Tejs Knudsen (the only reappearing member from last years team) and Nikolaj Simling.
Lambdabamserne have competed in the Danish Championship in Programming for six years. Throughout the years the team has consisted of different members because of the rules of the competition. Thus, this year all contestants had to be born in 1992 or later.
Since their first participation in the competition, Lambdabamserne have won five times - only in 2012 they had to 'make do' with a second place.
After the competition, the contestants could relax with pizza and beer in the student canteen. Under big applauses from the other contestants the winners received a gift certificate for travelling of DKK 10,000.
