Per Rutquist wins the Twilight Phase, Midnight Madness Challenge Announced

Per Rutquist is the winner of the Twilight phase! A contest veteran and previous winner, you can read more about him in the Hall of Fame. Rick St.Pierre, Cobus Potgieter, Uwe Damm, and Nick Howe take the next four positions. Congratulations to all who took a crack at solving this problem on their own.

The rest of the contest is in daylight and everyone can see everyone’s code. Poke around and look at the entries that have been submitted so far. When you see clever code or interesting algorithms, please share on the newsgroup. We’ll award a Midnight Madness prize to the best-scoring entry submitted before midnight EST tonight.
