Well perhaps we can get input from Jens and Jooel too.

Over all I would say the 1 hour is too much as well, but I didn't want to seem to be too restrictive in case Jens or whomever sets up a Golf challenge came up with something that legitimately takes maybe 10 minutes or more to run with proper coding techniques.

If everyone is in agreement then maybe set the maximum time to complete the challenge to 15 minutes.

The speed and type of the PC to validate the challenge should not be such a big issue either (imho) if it’s going to spoil the spirit of the game.

The code should complete within the 15 minutes on ANY commercially sold retail computer within the last 2 years that is not bogged down with spyware or is incapacitated in some other form or fashion that would negatively impact it’s normal performance.

A.) Must pass scoring engine tests
B.) Must complete script execution within 15 minutes


I would also like to ask that TRIM be added to the scoring engine code to remove the tab/spaces in the CPU name.
