Back to Twilight

For the next 24 hours, we’re returning to Twilight. We’ve also swapped in a new hidden test suite. This is the first time we’ve tried this and are interested to know what everyone thinks. We’ll award the Late Twilight award when we re-enter Daylight at noon tomorrow.

We like Stijn’s suggestion to continue displaying all the entries submitted before we re-entered Twilight. If we continue having a late twilight, we’ll implement this next time. For now we can at least show you the last, best, non-obfuscated entry.

  • Alan Chalker: As I usually do, I’ve now posted a heavily commented version of the leading code so that those of...
