I mean, what the heck could a beginner do to improve Eugene's > solution? You're right. Though I can only speak for myself, I can comfortably say that *I* could not improve his solution (or that of some others). I did, however, understand most of the solutions after taking an admittedly very close look at them. Additionally, many of the pro's put quite some work into their solutions, so eventually, they started with something that I might have been able to slightly improve. By the way: I wouldn't assume there is always one pro per group - there might very well be 2 or more. Maybe peer review will result in a few interesting ideas.
