Hi Joao,

Good thing you did, putting it on GitHub. I saw your solution in 
'take.rb'. But currently we need much better algo than that. Because 
codechef seems to think that it exceeds '5 seconds'. How did you get the 
same thing running on GitHub within a second? Also, codechef uses Ruby 
1.9. It's there on their website.
