My first code posting resolves the 5's correctly. That would seem to indicate the Richard's code using a(b(cd)) does not work either. My second posting was qualified on the case that the parentheses used in Richard's code held up. This case seems to indicate that his code would fail if the random test selected four 5's.

That being said, my second posting with a score of 314 would not be acceptable, Richard's code would not be acceptable, and my first code with a score of 434 is the current valid working code.

Jens, can we have a ruling?
