Oliver Woodford wins Twilight

Oliver Woodford is the winner of the Twilight phase of the contest and a new inductee into the Hall of Fame. The next five finishers are Per Rutquist, Nick Howe, Greg S, Survion, and Nieto-Castanon. It’s great to see some new faces joining our old friends. You can see the complete rankings for the first two phases of the contest in the statistics.

    Looks like there might be a problem with the statistics page. For one thing, Alan Chalker holds all 20 of the top spots in the Queue & Top 20 page, but the stats page shows that he has only submitted 12 entries.

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).
