Eugene, I think there is intense interest in your scores!

Thank goodness that ref() doesn't generate a warning when used with

It's 5:15 AM here in Sydney (not sunny yet;-).
Still, I've got my 6-pack of beer ready.
When this is over, I'll drink a toast to the winners,
then go the the beach :).

This is the hole that won it for Eugene.
In fact, he was the only golfer to find a 13-stroke solution.
As you might expect, just about everybody chose the obvious FAQ

This hole was one by Ronald J Kimball with his first post
in the opening hours of the game.
It proved frustrating, as evidenced by Japhy's mid-game comment:
Geez, I have three different solutions for tail.pl, ALL the
same length (19 chars). Has someone gotten below 19?

Like hole 2, this proved very frustrating with all attempts

heroic attempts:
