Thank you all so much

[rifter1818]

Im leaving tommorrow for a programming competition (provincial high school). I would just like to extend my thanks to all of you here who have helped me so much in becoming the programmer i am today. My late father once told me that it didnt matter what i did with my life as long as i did a damn good job of it, and id like to think that hed be proud of me and the great leaps ive made in my programming with many thanks to all the help ive recieved from the wonderfull people here, thank you and good night.

Yours Truely Harry.

I cant believe it. Not that i finished second the winning team won last year as well and are truely very good programmers, but why i finished second (freak power outage). The power went out in one part of the building so we all had almost 2 hours to solve the problems before we got to the computers (so it became a typeing contest (first and second finished all puzzles so the desicion went on a time basis) and the server lost 3 of our submissions which cost us almost 4 hours of time for the scoring. the first puzzle (a freebee so everyone would get one) was to print all of the squares of the numbers 20-40. IE for i = 20 to 40

c.writeline(I*I) 'with c being a console

next

It took us 2 hours to successfully submit this question. Am i bitter yes, flame me all you want, i guess ill just have to continue being second best at everything (well not many things actually but you know the saying).

At least you placed. Your computer might have malfunctioned and put you back into 4th or worse... since it was a competition, it is supposed to fun ... don't be bitter. :(
