1000 Character Challenge Winners

Francois Glineur is our 1000 Character Winner packing a whole lot of goodness into 993 characters. He’s followed by Enduro and David Cook II. Impressively, each of these contestants submitted entries that were substantively different. The Statistics show the top 25 entries.

Back in the regular game, volkan and David Jones have made the biggest improvements so far today, both with unobfuscated code.

Our next mid-contest challenge is the Tuesday Leap. We’ll award this prize to the contest who makes the biggest improvement to the score submitted on Tuesday (midnight EDT to midnight EDT) with a single entry. This is a good opportunity to show off an algorithmic improvement before the end-of-the-contest crunch.
