Subject: Re: Competitions?

I might have missed some of the posts but when I saw
"Competitions" I thought "Sudoko" as well. 
Mine should be finished and working this time next
week if anyone is interested.

It would be educational to see the different coding
techniques and algorithms people ended up with.

If we do we should set up a little web site to put all
this stuff.
