Best problems are the ones where you can't directly attribute it to one method 
- when it is a mix of several methods or some funny way of reapproaching known 
problem from unusual angle.

This is because plain vanilla problems are already very boring to people who do 
competitive programming for long time.

GCJ team usually very good coming up with unusual problems - often even 
knowledge of hardcore data structures or algorithms is not needed, just 
thinking hard and putting your brain at work.
