Hmm, maybe I am not really a programmer. I can appreciate elegant code
(for my subjective definition of elegant) but I rarely struggle to
perfect my (or somebody else's) code in my free time. For the three
long years I have been aware there's a quiz running. Sure I have
looked at some quizzes that seemed particularly interesting, but I
haven't contributed a single solution.

On the other hand, the exposure to programming has left some permanent
traces. You know, people who can understand programmer jokes are no
longer considered normal ;-)

I wonder why we have so many galleries with paintings and sculptures
but I haven't heard of one displaying exceptional pieces of code.

Sure, I can browse the quiz site. However, the presentation is limited
by my not-so-large screen, and often a tool for presenting the results
of a quiz solution nicely would make for another quiz. And there's no
guide who would explain peculiarities of particular programmer schools
and hint about the best masterpieces.

Well, maybe I just get weird ideas late in the night.

Good night, and thanks for all the quizzes

Michal
