1. Contest update (Wednesday)
The results page has been updated. It also has a new format which
I hope is acceptable.

Derek,
I know you've done a lot of work on this contest already, but can I want to make
a feature request
for the results page.
With regards to the "Style" files and the actual scored files, if a word count
is incorrect can you
post whether it was higher or lower than expected?
I thought that my second submission was corrected, but apparently not.

Or, I don't know if you could provide the submitted program outputs with the
expected outputs.

I'm just grousing, I'll probably figure it out. I think I need to rethink
my code from scratch.

You seem to be finding tokens that are really delimiters. Not many, so
I suspect that you have some issues with hyphens or quotes.
Also, it crashed with a subscript error. It seems that your calculated
hash value for "BUT-SUGGESTED" is zero.

Thanks. The hash thing sounds like a pretty stupid error on my part and I'm
surprised it didn't show up.
I think I've realized the quote-dash error after re-reading the rules recently.
But that helps a lot.
So far the contest has been a lot of fun and I've learned a lot about hashes and
sorting!
