That'd be good... making the difference between a beginner and an expert more distinct. The beginners could also get some more starting hints... e.g. some man sections that *might* be relevent, just to get them started. Giving this information early on isn't really a problem - the experts will hammer the beginners regardless (and know those tricks anyway). For the beginners, it gives them more of a chance. It'd be really unfortunately for Eugene and co. if they were beaten by the beginners - but that's the way of the game. Certainly, the "Human Sort" was too tricky for beginners - as finding even a basic solution for the sort was REALLY DIFFICULT for a beginning Perl programmer, let alone a beginning Perl golfer.
