How about:

rephorm@boru ~/code/ruby/quiz/pangram $ time ruby pangram.rb > p
real    0m28.613s
user    0m27.474s
sys     0m1.000s

rephorm@boru ~/code/ruby/quiz/pangram $ cat p
a ruby quiz solution found this sentence enumerating four a's, two b's,
two c's, three d's, thirty-four e's, nine f's, three g's, eight h's,
sixteen i's, one j, one k, three l's, two m's, twenty-five n's, fifteen
o's, one p, two q's, eleven r's, twenty-nine s's, twenty-five t's, nine
u's, four v's, nine w's, three x's, six y's, and two z's

rephorm@boru ~/code/ruby/quiz/pangram $ ruby verify.rb p
Sentence passes!



It looks like the exact wording of the prelude has a large effect on how
quickly a solution can be found.
