1. Contest Update (18-Nov-2004)

Who would have believed that Jiri could shave any more off, but he
managed to. But it's Pete Lomax that has broken the 9-second barrier.

2. Re: Contest Update (18-Nov-2004)

Awesome!  I finally got my code (mostly) correct.  I wonder what I'm still doing
wrong on the dictionary... Hmm.
Well, I started revising again before my last submission's paint had dried, so I
think I will submit one more.  Once I've tested and debugged it, that is.

I suspect you are not correctly dealing with top frequence tokens that
have the same frequence count . This is what your program gives ...

01 WORLDS               2
02 ZYMURGY              1

and this is what it should give...

01 ANIMALS              2
02 APPLICATIONS         2
03 AUTHORS              2
04 BANKS                2
05 BASICS               2
06 BOARDS               2
07 CALCULATORS          2
08 CALLERS              2
09 CANT                 2
10 CATS                 2
11 CHARACTERS           2
12 CHIPS                2
13 COMPILERS            2
14 COMPUTERS            2
15 COOKIES              2
16 DART                 2
17 DAYS                 2
18 DEFINES              2
19 DESKTOPS             2
20 DISKETTES            2

Oh.

I guess that I have to re-read the rules again.  I thought that it wasn't
supposed to print out duplicates, of length frequencies OR of word frequencies.
That's easy to fix.  Thanks again!
