Yup, my solution has the recursion but is bulked by iterating and  
using a case statement.

Well, I'm happy to put my solutions out there into the wild for  
people to prod with. It's only a little game after all. Now, if there  
were prizes on offer...

I like the fact that I can go back and compete in older challenges if  
I want. I really like it as it is.

Perhaps somebody could set up an OpenCodeGolf.com where that happens  
for people who want a different way to play, with different  
challenges (so as not to spoil the ones on codegolf.com).
