GLOSSY: The Summer Programmer Of The Month Contest is underway!
Deadline is September 30, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I love taking digital pictures, but that nice glossy photo paper
is expensive!   So when my lovely wife asks for prints of a bunch
of pictures, I always try and fit them onto a single piece of paper.

The summer POTM challenges you to write a program that will place up to
26 pictures on a sheet of paper with the least amount of leftover
space.

The Programmer Of The Month (POTM) is a just-for-fun programming
contest with an active forum and over 1100 members (we usually
get 40-50 entries for each POTM challenge).  Supported languages
include C/C++/Perl/Ruby/PHP/Python/awk/shell.
Emphasis is on the algorithms and the joy of programming.
