I'm completely lost though. I'm happy with 2nd place but cannot see
how you arrived at those figures. The output of my program, interlaced
with cut & pasted excepts from your post is:

What results did you get?

I'll confess to 3 being mainly rubbish but I can only see three
correct words whereas you've marked up six. Otherwise, the only thing
I can think of is I got marked down for not preserving line breaks
&/or the odd extra bit of whitespace in the output. (My program
automatically breaks the output lines at the first word break before
column 75)
