> sorry about that...in all honesty, it was the most epic email that I read about the challenge :) (and I told the team!)
Aw shucks. Well you guys are OK after all.
You know, if I had a dollar for every time I didn't get back to someone's email when I should have, I'd be rich by now.
Tell you what. Do you bring in lunch for the team from time to time? We are neighbors: invite me over and all will be forgiven! I got Drew's email and will be sending over an RFL shortly. :-)
Actually, that would be a brilliant strategy for any company that puts out coding challenges like this: Once in a while, when someone local sends an interesting solution but doesn't seem like a fit for the job you're looking for, invite them over for lunch anyway just to say thanks! Who doesn't like a chance to meet smart hackers and enjoy good food?
