yes funny, life is unfair no one can argue with that, on that note tho
how can u compare an Eu coding contest to life as we know it, perhaps
an oversight on your behalf Pete, all i was trying to do was offer
opinions to refine the contest to make it as fair as possible, cause
god knows if you spent 2 days or whatever working on code for a
contest and then you were beaten because of an unseen judging error
perhaps you would fail to be so jubilent on the matter  < :' )
