May 27, 8:02 AMWell, I'm wondering wether fred overtook me before the contest ended or not.
Either way, well done everyone :D
Eagerly awaiting results.

May 27, 11:03 AMI did submit in time... I think with around an hour to spare. I solved the explorer problems by using the reflection api to clear the board of all obstacles (and also clearing the move count ;-D).
Anyway, Ariel has offered to try to get both Egor and me the first prize, which is totally awesome on his part; in the event that falls through, I already have the book and don't drink coffee!
