Professor Hack has received an offer from another university and since we would like to keep him here, there will be a torch run this Friday, December 13, 2024, at 5:00 PM starting in the foyer of E1.3. We will do a short tour across the campus together.
Many of you have probably already had the pleasure of attending one of his events, e.g. during Programming 2 or Compiler Construction, and were able to see for yourselves that Prof. Hack is very much an enrichment for Saarbrücken Computer Science.
So, fellow students, grab your torches and let’s show our appreciation for his work and teaching! ❤️🔥
Of course, we will bring and provide you with torches. As additional motivation, after the tour there’ll be mulled wine and children’s punch.
By the way: If you have any anecdotes about Prof. Hack, please share them with Manuel so that he can include them in his speech.
Christmas season is upon us again, and as every year, many people are frolicking on the Christmas Market and warm themselves with Mulled Wine, Hot Chocolate, and lots of Candied Almonds. You are not interested in that, but still want to enjoy Christmas Season? Then we offer you the perfect alternative this year: For the third year in a row, we present to you “Advent of Code”.
Advent of Code (AoC) is a digital advent calendar designed by computer scientists for computer scientists, and therefore, every day there await small (and big) programming puzzles and challenges for you. With solving the two-part tasks you can earn up to two stars. For that you don’t need any prior knowledge of competitive programming or advanced algorithms and data structures. Best of all, you can even use your favourite programming language! The puzzles are usually designed in such a way that you can quickly find the solution with logical-analytical thinking and a little puzzling. The puzzles are also part of a cute little story in which you can help Father Christmas to make Christmas really happen. In the end, AoC is not necessarily about solving all the puzzles – real fans just want to save Christmas from the Grinch.
However, if you actually want a challenge, then AoC has this up its sleeve for you: if you are particularly fast and one of the first 100 to solve the task of the day, you will receive points on the global leaderboard. The student council has also created a private leaderboard for you, where you can compete with all other SIC students. Rumour has it that anonymous professors are also participating . It should be noted, however, that the puzzles for us are published at 06:00 in the morning – so if you want to climb to the top, you must not only steel your programming skills but also your will to get up early..
We believe that Advent of Code is a great opportunity for all students to challenge themselves and expand their skill set through various problems. Therefore, there are no students at SIC who cannot benefit from it.
This year, AoC starts on December 01st and ends December 25th. You can find more information on the AoC website: https://adventofcode.com/2024.
To join the private FSR leaderboard, use our code 2253378-eb43346f on https://adventofcode.com/2024/leaderboard/private. If you already participated last year, you are already part of the leaderboard and don’t need to do anything else.
Disclaimer: Advent of Code is not hosted or organised by the Student Council of Computer Science. We are just big fans of the concept and want to promote it at our faculty.
After a fantastic start of the second season of our RindPhi Quiz Night, it will return for the second iteration of this season!
This time, our hosts will be the Heimbar of the Wohnheim E, right on campus! [1]. The Quiz Night happens there on November 26th, starting from 08:00 PM. As per usual you can join up in teams of up to 6 persons.

We are happy to announce that also in this month, we will offer some free food for you, even though it is not a full-blown breakfast this time.

Hey guys,
I’ve been wanting to announce this ever since I was elected to the Student Council, and now it’s finally time: We’re going to have the first RindPhi-LAN since 2016!!!
The LAN Party will take place next week on Saturday (23rd November) from 10am to 10pm in the Computer Science & Math Library. We will be providing the necessary networking hardware, so all you need is a working ethernet port (or an ethernet to USB-C adapter for the laptop enthusiasts). In addition, you will need to bring your own stuff, which means either a laptop or a desktop PC; in both cases remember to bring your peripherals (mouse, keyboard, headset, mouse pad (this is the one people tend to forget)) and for the desktop user also a monitor (please keep it limited to one since we are short on space).
Besides the PC slots we also have some console slots, you will need to bring your consoles but we will provide monitors.
The games that will be played are the following:
Unfortunately, we cannot provide internet over LAN (only via WLAN/eduroam). PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE GAMES IN ADVANCE OR RIP EDUROAM.
To participate you need to buy a ticket, they are priced at 5 Euros mainly to ensure that people actually attend and not just reserve a ticket. Your place is only valid after you have paid for it and please pay on the same or next day, either by bank transfer or by coming to the CS Student Council in person to pay in cash.
Our capacities are as follows:
We will be selling some drinks and ordering food during the event, so it is recommended that you bring some cash with you. As this is our first LAN in ages there will be some things that will most likely go wrong, but we plan to have this as not just a one time event so please be patient with us 😀
Yours sincerely
Manuel aka Aufrichtig
