It was only the qualification round, and admittedly, 3 out of 4 problems
were not extremely interesting.
Still, congrats to hos.lyric, - whoever that is (Kenji ?) -, who managed
to submit a perfect solution in 1h55, more than 46 mn before the rank 2.
This is cool! I still have my google code jam T-shirt from '03 when it
was done through TopCoder.
I'm glad D is getting some traction there. I would caution however, from
my past experience, that looking at how well one language does vs. another
is extremely subjective -- really good coders can do really well no matter
what language they use. But what *is* important is that a really good
coder chose D for his/her language. That gets people interested.
