Note 1:  When ties occur, teams are listed in alphabetical order.
 
Note 2:  Problem F test data contained a defect that was not detected until several weeks after the contest ended when archives became available.  The top ten of each ranking were awarded the higher of their ranks resulting in some unresolvable ties.  The remaining teams were clustered according to the maximum number of problems solved and were assigned the maximum rank of clusters in the two rankings.  This resulted in one abnormality that was resolved by ranking Charles University Prague 10th, a place vacated by a ties among the top 10 teams.  Charles University Prague solved one more problem in the second ranking than those ranked 11th.  Teams solving fewer problems than the median team in both rankings were ranked as Honorable Mention.
