This is just a reminder that the deadline for my little programming 
competition is Monday.

---------------
I've decided that it would be be fun to host a weekly Python programming
contest. The focus will be on algorithms that require a bit of thought
to design but not much code to implement.

I'm doing to judge the solutions based on execution speed. It sucks but
that is the easiest important consideration to objectively measure. I'll
also indicated which solutions I think are good examples of Python
design. Hopefully, people's solutions can provide a resource for people
looking for best practice examples and also for people looking for
performance ideas.

You can find the first problem here:

I'm always looking for feedback, so let me know what you think or if you
have any ideas for future problems.

Cheers,
Brian
