KiXtart Golf Tournament Part III (Round 2)

Round 2 of the Kixtart Golf tournament has officially opened.

Scripters, post your codes! And steal/modify/improve it!

Here's a recap of the first round:

The task was to write a generic base converter and translate '44680832201' from BASE10 to BASE36.

The result of this translation is KIXTART, or 4468083220110=KIXTART36.

The challange was posted on 08 June 2002 16:40

Shawn announced that he found the answer to the translation task on 08 June 2002 22:40, exactly 6 hours after tournament start.

And here's a timeline of KiXtart golf scores and coders (a star denotes a new leader):

08 June 2002 16:40 = Posting of challange
09 June 2002 04:54 = 379 (Howard Bullock, preliminary solution)
09 June 2002 05:09 = 375 (BrianTX, with a second preliminary solution of score 243)
* 09 June 2002 08:04 = 591 (Howard Bullock, complete working solution)
* 09 June 2002 18:00 = 410 (Shawn)
* 09 June 2002 18:28 = 400 (Shawn)
09 June 2002 18:46 = 446 (Howard Bullock)
09 June 2002 19:35 = 410 (Howard Bullock)
* 09 June 2002 19:59 = 381 (Howard Bullock)
* 09 June 2002 21:07 = 351 (Shawn)
* 09 June 2002 21:53 = 341 (Howard Bullock)
* 09 June 2002 22:07 = 337 (Shawn)
* 09 June 2002 22:34 = 331 (Shawn)
* 09 June 2002 23:03 = 293 (BrianTX)
* 09 June 2002 23:17 = 278 (BrianTX)
09 June 2002 23:11 = 292 (Shawn)
* 09 June 2002 23:29 = 270 (BrianTX)
10 June 2002 00:00 = 355 (Howard Bullock)
* 10 June 2002 00:37 = 267 (BrianTX)
10 June 2002 01:45 = 309 (Howard Bullock)
* 10 June 2002 01:59 = 261 (BrianTX)
10 June 2002 05:58 = 283 (Howard Bullock)
10 June 2002 07:19 = 253 (Howard Bullock, incorrect function name)
10 June 2002 14:31 = 278 (Howard Bullock)

So, the final results for the first round are:
Winner 1) Shawn on 08 June 2002 22:40 announced solution to the translation question
Winner 2) BrianTX with a script scoring 261 on 10 June 2002 01:59

Winner 2) has been changed to BrianTX since Howard admitted that his lowest score script didn't return the answer throught $BaseConverter.
