I didn't get a reply to my entry so i emailed last passage. They replied to tell me that my email had been received and that my answers were correct.

Hope this helps

Indeed, all correct entrants received an email telling them so, just so that they knew that the hard work was over and that they could take a break.

Now when competition is over, can we share the answer?
That what I got:



Hope it's alright to post a picture as competition is over?

Good work, and yes that's OK. The video done this weekend will have the solution at the beginning for those who've not visited this forum.

Well done all.

Thank you.
I'm not sure it was quicker.. as I had to brush up my very elementary programming skills.. I wrote a small program for a very specific mathematical software Maple that I used for work ages ago (I had to find and install that software on my laptop only for this purpose!)
For those who are interested

for i from 1 to 26 do
color:=(253-(253./25)*(i-1))/253:
end do:

for j from 0 to 59 do
for i from 0 to 58 do
x:=color[Ma[j+1,i+1]];
c[i,j] := rectangle([i,60-j], [i+1,59-j], color=COLOR(RGB,x,x,x));
end do;
end do;

plots[display](seq(seq(c[i,j],i=0..58),j=0..59), scaling=constrained, axes=none);


Here Ma[i,j] is a matrix of a given square where letters are substituted with numbers (from 1 for A to 26 for Z).
This program drew me a picture..


It was fun!

WoW! impressive programming - I used Microsoft Word to obtain the picture but your's is much clearer than mine. Here's fingers crossed for the results.

I wrote the competition code.
I also wrote the code in Codex.
Heck, I even wrote Codex itself...

And I'M impressed. Excellent stuff.

I solved the puzzle

What excitement! I haven't been on this forum recently due to loads of work but this is lots of fun! I've just been on the Codex site and nothing yet I think a coded winner is an awesome idea

Good luck to everyone who entered! And here's to watching the actual draw! :beer:
