Honestly? Not too well. We started off OK, but several members of the team
had things come up over the weekend that were outside of their control
that prevented them from contributing much to the team.

It also was difficult to get organized as quickly as we needed to, and
once we lost most of the team my motivation for the competition dwindled.
I did make a last minute effort and produced a "no-op" solution to the
first part of the competition.

If we want we can now take the next few weeks to improve our solution for
the first part so we have a good submission for the second part.

The problem was pretty interesting though, so I may make an effort to do
better in the second part (which apparently has more "points" in the
competition.) If anyone wants to help on that, let me know :)

We weren't the only Ruby team though, there was also a team put together
my Mr. RubyQuiz, James Edward Gray II (and maybe more that I don't know
about.)
