Hey Kat,
who says that any of my code would be faster than yours when run on your
machine?
For that matter, if your code was run on my machine, who says that it would be
slower than my code?

Don't concede on the basis of your own hardware platform. The contest will be
run on Robert's
platform anyhow!

The idea is to improve our Euphoria skills, not to see who has the beefiest
machine.
