In whittling some even.pl solutions, I was shocked to discover that the leading Beginner's even.pl did not belong to Peter, Jason or Stephen! Here is the final beginner's leaderboard. 1. 79 Peter Makholm 2. 79 Jason Henry Parker 3. 80 Stephen Turner 4. 85 Qingning Huo 5. 86 Aaron Trickey 6. 88 Dave Hoover .... But the best even.pl was from Aaron Trickey: -p ($,="aeiouy ")=~s:.:|y/$&//:gs;$_ x=~eval"$.$,c"&1 53 aaron Congratulations Aaron, and apologies for not highlighting this fine effort earlier. Now I have to try to figure who was unluckier: Aaron or Jason. :) /-\ndrew
