Near the End

srach won the Best Result. This challenge proved to be very popular and, by its nature, attracted entries with long run times leaving the queue backed up for most of Tuesday night. BirdBrain, nathan q, and Yi Cao also had top entries approaching the 4PM deadline.

Sergey Yurgenson took the Tuesday Leap. Submitted at 9AM, it remained unbeatable for the rest of the day. Jin took second place and also made the greatest cumulative improvement over the course of the day. They were followed by MikeR and Tristrom Cooke.

The contest closes today at noon EDT. After the queue empties, we’ll announce the Overall Winner. Good luck!

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
