While we are talking about what is allowed and what is not, I must confess
that I've cheated for my last submission (shame on me, but "faute avou�e est
� moiti� pardonn�e" is a common french saying...)
In fact, I was at first just amused to see that this trick got through the
tests script... I was tempted to submit it, even if I knew that it was not
legal, just to see if a judge would detect the trickery. After that, I was
just happy to take (temporarily) the lead in front of `/annick, and I
"forgot" to announce the fact to the judge. =)
I let you find the trick as an exercice...
#!perl -n056a
sub p{@{[/[ouyaie]/gi]}."/".s/\w/$&/g}
@v=map{57>shift@z||$z<62and$"x length|p}grep{/\./ or$_|="\0
";push@z,$z++;$z+=length}@F;$p=p$_="@F";s/(.{57})....+/$1.../;$_=@F.": $_
$p: @v
";s/ +$//;$z&&=!print
Of course, I send all my apologies to anyone feeling outraged by this, and
my congratulations to the winner (and all others that are much more talented
than my humble person...)
And `/annick... I'll get you next month ;D
