Hey not bad Matt! Im wondering if you submit a second set of solutions
do they throw out the first set or average them in with the second?
If i get a chance to modify my 'all circles the same size' program
ill give it a try, although i can see i'll have to use a different
strategy for the incremental size diameters. I was also thinking
of going with the max of 20 digit solutions (i think it's 20).
Take care,
Al
And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
