Isn't it a spoiler that the judges assume there are only 2 algorithms for this hole ? Even if they were given in the motivation, one might think there's another way (where is the TMTOWTDI spirit ?) Anyway, this hole is special, as it's the first time that the possible methods are given (which as a player I thank the heaven for) -- |3enoît
