Good job!

Thanks! :)

Any idea when the next competition is coming? (it hasn't been quite 
weekly as you hoped, eh? ;)

Uh no. It turns out that I have less time than I thought, though a big 
chunk of it should be freed-up after this weekend. I do have an idea... :-)

Ahhh...sorry. I have your solution and I timed it but I don't have the 
results here so I can't add it to the website. I'll do it tomorrow.

 Where do the timing results come from? Is it the number that 
 fly_test.main(['fly']) outputs? I don't think it is that because with my 
 solution that would be ~0.06 seconds.

This is the time required to do several thousand trials.

Python Programming Contest: First results

2005-08-01 Thread Brian Quinlan
Here are the results for the first problem in the Python Programming 
Contest.

I haven't been able to find as much time as I excepted, so my analysis 
is not very in depth.

You can find the results here:
http://www.sweetapp.com/pycontest/contest1/results.html

And the problem definition here:
http://www.sweetapp.com/pycontest/contest1/

Kudos to everyone who participated but especially to Raymond Hettinger 
and Thomas Lotze, whose solutions were nearly 50 times faster than mine.

I'd also like to point out that Thomas Guettler's solution, which is the 
slowest, was completed in less than 3 hours after the contest was 
announced. That's impresive for a correct solution.

Cheers,
Brian

Great competition anyway, I want to see more of these :)
