Win the race. :-)

Actually, there is a prize now, thanks to Zend. The first person to solve the puzzle wins a free pass to take the Zend Certification exam. It's only really helpful to PHP developers, but it could save someone $200.

I liked the puzzle, but I think the original answer I came up with should have been the right one.

Style Guide

Line breaks are converted to paragraphs. Also use:

  • <a href="" title="">text</a>1
  • <em>text</em>
  • <blockquote><p>text</p></blockquote>
  • <code>2  <?php  if ($foo) {      $foo = TRUE;  }  ?></code>
  1. Note: <code> can be used inline (e.g. in paragraphs) or in a block as shown. Include whitespace and newlines in blocks.

Please enter Chris (my first name) below. This is a primitive spam prevention technique, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
