yeah, this contest has told me that i really need to study up on algorithms. it's also scary that the fast person completed all three in less than half an hour. i got large and small for A and B correct but for C somehow I had a recursive thing and it took forever and I couldn't figure out how to make it faster so I ran out of time. for B my algorithm was pretty crappy, i just looped through all the grid points, in order from left to right and top down, found the basin that they flowed into, if it did not already have a letter to go with it, i labeled that basin with the next letter in the alphabet and also the grid point with the letter of the basin. it still completed instantly, but i was not so lucky with C.
