Repost the interesting questions to this list; possibly only after the solutions have become public. (And perhaps mjd can use old golf holes as quizes; I would be interested in some clean solutions to strtol.pl, for example.) > because I've already > witnessed some sacrilegious remarks like: "I respect golfers an' > all but I don't want to be one, thankyouverymuch" and "this is > not a competition, it's fun".

So what rule are they using to score their solutions? > Oh, and I noticed quite a few ostentatious sigs there, shamelessly > exceeding the accepted maximum of 4 lines. Look! New sig quote! (-ugene -- ... while I agree that golf is fun, interesting, and educational, I think it has a very big problem: it encourages people to spend a lot of effort in coming up with the shortest possible solution. -- /\\ark-_|ason |)ominus
