nathan q is the Twilight Winner

Congratulations to nathan q for winning the Twilight round. SY, Jan Langer, Abhisek Ukil, and Andreas Bonelli round-out the top five. We’re now in daylight, where everyone can see all the code, including King of the Hill.

We now have our first round in Daylight, ending tomorrow at noon. We’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the timing details, largely based on feedback we’ve been getting in the newsgroup. We’ve decided to do one daylight round as-is. We’ve been experimenting with some alternative timing metrics based on your feedback, but aren’t yet sure what changes to make. This is a new format, so keep telling us how it’s working out for you.

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).
