Unfortunately our 'class rules' only started with 3 stones per pit, whereas it turned out real Owari starts with 4 stones per pit, so it was nothing more than a fun exercise. 20020912 Liberty Alliance -- alternative to .Net 20020806 TopCoder competitive coding pre-200207 w3.org/Library pre-200207 |
