Do you have any suggestions how to practice algorithms?
If you want to do well on GCJ, practice GCJ. All the past contests are online.
You're right.

Where does the "top 1000" come from?
My logic is simple. There is qualification round, round 1a/1b/1c, round 2, round 3, onsite finals. Advancing to round 1 won't impress anyone because qualification round is easy. In order to advance to round 2 you have to be top 1000 which is pretty difficult but achievable. Advancing to round 3 is very difficult, I think it's way beyond interview level.
Actually, in order to advance to round 2 you have to be top 1000 in one of the first rounds, so you make it to the top 3000.
The reason I asked is because I placed in the top 1000 (top 1000 of round 2) back in 2011 but was only contacted by a google recruiter in late 2012 (in the 2012 edition I had been just outside of the top 1000 in round 2).
