David Jones Stays on Top through Twilight, Early Bird Special Announced

David Jones, winner of Darkness, maintained his lead through Twilight as well. David is a contest veteran, and you can read about his previous wins in the Hall of Fame, but this is the first time he’s conquered either of these contest phases.

He had lots of competition, too. Just behind him were Alfonso Nieto-Castanon, Nick Howe, Steve Hoelzer, Jan Langer, Mike Bindschadler, Claus Still, Gerbert Myburgh, Fabio Carnevale, Andreas, and many others. See the listing of the top 25 in the statistics.

We’re now in Daylight and everyone’s code in visible. To get things rolling, we’ll award an Early Bird Special to the best-scoring entry submitted before 5PM Eastern. 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).
