I had those dang variables floating around my program the whole time too! :)
Finally, after having $V=$T=$p=$q=$s=$Z (or something similar) in my program
for the entire week, I found a clever way of undefining all variables $B..$Z
(not $A-$Z, just considering the tiebreaker):
map$$_=$Z,B..Z;
I was pretty proud of that, even though I knew it was only necessary to make up
for my lack of ability to get rid of the variables entirely.

We (non-aliens) are the music makers and we are the dreamers of dreams.
