I composed an e-mail to the referees at some point, when I had written a
solution that passed the test cases but failed on the input "\n \n".  But then
I re-read the part about paragraphs ("The input will consist of zero or more
paragraphs.  Blank lines can occur anywhere in the input outside of
paragraphs.").  I decided not to send my message to the refs because I
interpreted the rule to mean that "\n \n" was illegal input, since it contained
a non-blank line outside a paragraph.  I probably should have sent my message
anyway, just to ask for clarification.  But I agree, it was a bit confusing
(I'm still not -certain- that "\n \n" is illegal input).
