Superlative, Glen! I've added this material to the list of programming
contest problem links on the appropriate Useless page:

http://www.lowerstandard.com/python/acmcontest.html

While we're kinda on the subject, I'll go ahead and leak an up-coming
feature for Useless. (First I need to finish the program that will
automatically generate the HTML pages, but I'm mostly there.)

Once it's begun, for each script someone contributes to Useless, the
contributor will be able to add an icon to a script by someone else,
indicating one of several things ("I actually used this", "I learned
something from this", "This is indeed Useless", etc.). But for each
programming contest or Python Challenge solution, the contributor will
receive two of these. Aside from adding some humor and interesting
commentary to the scripts, I'm hoping this will encourage budding coders
to share their gifts more.

Okay, I'm done now,
Rob
