Well, ok, but i was solving advanced double-sub cyphers in my head when i
was a teen. Typically, i would solve the most difficult cyphers in 1/2 the
alloted time (with pen and paper), even when the code was working against
the "most common whatever" profiles. I'm no longer as swooft as i once was,
but in the intervening time, i've learned how to tell the puters to do my
thinking for me.
The problem with this contest is as David mentioned, the evaluation of
"winning" is subjective. And by any one or two measures, there are people
here who will royally beat the socks off you and me, Euman.
A question David left off: What if the program uses Karl's interpreter?
