I applaud Jen's patience here. I mean, if everyone wrote these kinds of scripts - he would need weeks and prolly a server farm to validate these kinds of answers. And I think hes being pretty generous by using a 1.5ghz machine - the official Perl rules site a 100mhz P II as a "somewhat slow computer".

Having said that - assuming Jooels script finishes in a reasonable time or not - and with Jen's OK - I have no problem sharing the private round 1st place with Jooel - he deserves something.
