Final Answer
- Did Google Code Jam Prevent Relatives from Joining?: Google Code Jam’s rules explicitly barred current employees, interns, contractors, officers, or directors (). There’s no explicit ban on relatives in the provided Code Jam terms, but related competitions (e.g., Solution Challenge) suggest Google may have restricted immediate family members (e.g., children like Stanley) to avoid bias (). Without the exact 2023 terms, it’s likely relatives were either allowed or not strictly policed in open rounds.
How Did Stanley Zhong Attend?: Stanley participated in Google Code Jam (reaching semifinals,,,), likely in 2023 or earlier, as a high school student before becoming a Google employee (started October 2023,,). Possible reasons for his eligibility: Code Jam’s rules didn’t explicitly ban relatives, unlike other Google competitions (). Open Qualification Rounds and 2023’s prize-less farewell rounds had relaxed checks ().Stanley’s independent registration and objective performance (automated judging) minimized conflict concerns.
