Well, it breaks my coding heart, but if it's in the rules I can't really object to it.

I had this discussion with Remco during the private round. I feel the rules should define the functionality, and that the ini file is just a helpful tool to check your code.

Other coding contests also provide a set of test data but the code will be tested against many other cases before the code is approved.

I'm for a rule change (implemented whenever convenient) that just states that the code should follow the given rules and that the test-case is just a small subset of possibilities.

BUT, ehm... with the current rules that makes me the current leader with 189? ;\)
