Mike Russell is the Early Bird

The scores are all in, and we can now say that Mike Russell wins the Early Bird prize for his entry Picture Quality Enhance 7-14. You can see from the diff that a few modifications to Oliver’s earlier Twilight winner did the trick.

Oliver set a blistering pace early on, but according to his post on the newsgroup, he’s hanging up the keyboard and heading back to work. Say it ain’t so, Oliver! Or at least, as Nick Howe says in the next message, “would you mind sharing the key ideas behind your twilight winner?”

I had promised to do the same visualization with the Early Bird winner. I did, but visually the difference is very hard to spot, so I’m not going to repost the image.

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).
