I've been slapping myself silly for not using -a (or /\S+/g, or even split). Would've gotten a 165 otherwise, saving a whopping 11 strokes. Ah well, that should clinch me the coveted "most amateurish mistake" award. The funny part about this hole was that I never seemed to hit the wall. There was always some simple (as in could be figured out in 30 minutes) transformation to apply, and score a bit better. It certainly wasn't as frustrating as that cursed Kolakoski sequence. I'm also a bit suprised at the complaints that it took hours to even get a working version of the program. It all seemed pretty straightforward, with a couple of easily detectable corner cases. Just what was the problem? And now for something completely different: *slap* *slap* *WHACK* *slap* -- Juho Snellman "C:st� on kehitetty Massachusettsin teknillisess� korkeakoulussa kieli nimelt� BCPL."
