The David Jones Takes the Leap, Sunday Push Underway

The David Jones domination continues. Yesterday he added the Leap challenge to his trophy shelf by making the largest single improvement in score, despite strong competition from Yi Cao and Jim.

The Sunday Push goes to the contestant who makes the biggest cumulative improvement to the score on Sunday. Halfway through today’s Sunday Push, David is in the lead, but Jan and Yi are close behind. This mid-contest challenge ends at midnight. Will he stay in the lead? You can follow the action by checking out the “Sunday” section under “Contributions in Daylight” in the statistics.

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).
