No responses yet???? Too difficult?? Pity - as a Newbie I was
interested to see how the experts handled this one.

Answers aren't posted until Sunday. Unless someone has a question or are
extremely excited about this they usually don't post before then.

Sunday was two days ago, this is from last Friday.

I started playing with it, but didn't have time to finish, and was
also looking forward to what others came up with.

I suspect this was my mistake. Should have disguised it better.

I find this kind of project interesting, but I'm a little too geeky to
be an unbiased judge.

In defense of the quiz, it can be done with rather little Ruby code.
It's requires more detective skills than anything else, I think.

It's not too difficult, in my opinion. We've done much harder.

I think you should give it a shot. You might just surprise yourself
and if you get something in before I sit down to write the summary,
I'll make you famous! <laughs>

I found it interesting too, I've just been swamped with *real* real work
:) Well take a shot at it before the week is through.
