I could probably use those... my SQL is abysmal. ;o)

There are SQL challenges posted to the list periodically. Does that count?

I was just reading on CF-Talk where someone was looking for a function
that would turn a number (i.e. 125) into its equivalent text (i.e. one hundred
and twenty five). Then some other guy responded with a solution, and mentioned
that he wrote it as part of a code challenge for his local CFUG. Which got me
to wondering if our CFUG has ever had some sort of official coding challenge. I
remember a while back on the list when someone (can't remember who) posed a
problem and the rest of us tried to come up with the most "elegant" solution.
That was fun, as I recall.
So, would there be any interest in having some sort of monthly code
challenge? Perhaps it would be announced at the meeting and then folks would be
able to show their working code at the next meeting. That might be an incentive
to come to the meetings. Or it could be done via the list. However, I think
announcing it at the meeting and then seeing solutions at the next meeting is
nice because it would give entrants into the contest a whole month to think on
the challenge. Thus the challenges could be something more difficult or at
least something that would take more time.
Or what if the challenge was announced at the meeting (or on the list,
but still on the day of the meeting), and then valid or winning (not sure how
to define 'winning') solutions would be shown on a special page on the DFWCFUG
website.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Chris
