My congratulations to Blue Tyrant and Toughit.  You gave me a run for my bits!

Following is what I wrote up after Bitcoin gave me advance notice.  When I saw the “while you were typing” warning for the official announcement, I had to go back and review the spreadsheet...



Well, hello, aa5a6f6fd078f76dea8d16d5841b53699cca4a593f9304f206471e495e726627.

Of course, the judges’ opinion was what mattered here!

Cheers, all.
