nathan q and Edin Win Daylight Rounds 3 and 4

Congratulations to our two new winners, nathan q and Edin. Unless these are pseudonyms, they are two new inductees into the Hall of Fame.

We’ve applied the patch suggested by Markus Buehren that will stop entries from failing when the King of the Hill errors. We’re in our final round and near the end of the contest. 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).
