final exam standings

I just got unofficial news about the standings in the admission test for the INFN research position.

After the final, oral examination, these are the standings:

Name         titles      written test scores     subtotal    oral      total

                 (/50)        (/60)      (/60)          (/170)    (/80)   (/250)

1. Dorigo         46            43          56             145         78      223
2-22 others                                                                       151.5 - 219.5

I should not, but I cannot help feeling proud about this... True, I should have won a position such as the one I am winning here three or four years ago, as far as my experience goes. But the situation of research in Italy is not rosy, particularly thanks to the lousy government we have had since 2001. Forza Prodi!

This afternoon I received some complaints about the publication of results of other candidates here, and I decided to remove them. Therefore you find only my result in the list above.

Strictly speaking, there is a law in Italy that forbids the diffusion of "private" information. Exam scores belong to that category.

Also, I cannot deny I understand that those who did not win do not wish their result to be publicized, although getting into this list already means having been selected among 250 candidates by a written test and evaluation of career titles.

Hey -- congradulations! I never realized how tough it was to get a position until I spent 2 months in France this summer. I don't think I'd have made it through some of the things you guys have to do (I crack under that kind of stress).
