- Ok, I must admit that I was totally impressed with the first few
- entries that came in. Some of them solved the whole thing in less
- than ten minutes! "Hey!", I thought, "this is faster than C!"
- Boy, was I in for a surprise.

- When "IT" came in, before we even looked at "IT," we knew this
- probably would be nice. After all, a 178k program probably has
- some music and good graphics. After we reviewed the program,
- we were in such shock that I immediately sent a message to the
- people who wrote the program asking if it's his own work or something
- his math professor coded out of boredom. Mike spent that time
- banging his head against the wall, crying, "I can't believe it . . .
- This can't be happening! I should have written it . . . (etc.)"
- Well AMOSers and AMOSettes, we are proud to present this entry
- by Scott Bonen & Mike Sheldrake. Is it fast? Yes, it's definitely
- fast. The program can find a solution from square A1 in less than four
- seconds and from most other squares, less then 15. I
- still keep playing with it in my free time. Better go now. Mike just
- fainted when he saw the speed of this program when compiled! Call 911!
