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.
