第二十屆智慧鐵人創意競賽決賽17日於世新大學舉行，來自越南的《PHO》是國際參賽隊伍之一，在原鄉越南就參與無數競賽的他們表示，智慧鐵人創意競賽對他們來說是一個規模更大，關卡也別具創意、創新的競賽。
The final of the 20th Ironman Creative Competition was held at Shih Hsin University on the 17th, and PHO from Vietnam is one of the international teams this year. Having participated in numerous competitions in their home country of Vietnam, they said that the Ironman Creative Competition is a bigger competition for them, and the levels are creative and innovative.

談及隊伍的組成，《PHO》表示原先他們互不認識，是他們的爸媽認識同一位教授，因緣際會下將他們組合在一起。即便如此，在競賽當中他們也不曾有過爭吵，氣氛也相當的融洽。
Talking about the composition of the team, PHO said that originally they didn’t know each other, but their parents knew the same professor who put them together by chance. Even so, they never had any quarrels during the competition and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
在闖關的過程中，跨國溝通對他們來說是很大的挑戰，部分闖關時間都花在理解規則。而在闖關的工作分配中，《PHO》開玩笑地表示他們在闖關前都會先分配好工作，但每次進行關卡時總會一團亂。好在每一位隊員都有各自的強項，在他們提前完成自己的份內工作時，會主動去協助其他夥伴，互相幫忙，只為突破每一個關卡。
During the gatecrashing process, cross-country communication was a big challenge for them, and part of the gatecrashing time was spent on understanding the rules. PHO joked that they would assign their jobs before the break-in, but every time they went through a level, it was always a mess. Luckily, each team member had their own strengths, and when they finished their own jobs in advance, they would take the initiative to help the other team members, helping each other out in order to break through each level.
對於參加本次競賽的心情，《PHO》表示關卡除了相當有趣之外，協助帶隊的天使們都很親切，他們也結識許多與他們一樣前來參賽的國際隊伍，表示這是一段相當難得的回憶。除此之外，他們也非常喜歡台灣文化，尤其是珍珠奶茶和水餃，就連扭蛋機他們也樂在其中。期許明年《PHO》能繼續參與智慧鐵人創意競賽，持續展現他們的活力、創意與智慧。（記者黃子宜、楊采璇/台北採訪報導）
In terms of their feelings about participating in the competition, PHO said that the levels were not only fun, but the angels who helped lead the team were very kind and they also met many international teams who came to participate in the competition just like them, which made it a very rare memory for them. They also enjoyed Taiwanese culture, especially the pearl milk tea and dumplings, as well as the egg-twisters. We hope that next year, PHO will continue to participate in the Smart Ironman Creative Competition and continue to show their energy, creativity and intelligence.
