Holes and inadequacies can be found in even the most accepted software. Take M$ Windows and their other suites of products for example. Just because there are security holes, bugs, and other things people gripe over does not mean that they are not usable and helpful.

I salute Jooel in his innovative approach and his score of 182 using the integer rounding methogology. I think that by adding the one stroke and using .49 for a score of 183 makes the program usable.

So it appears that we both have usable programs at a score of 183. My head hurts trying to improve upon either code example.

Again the Golf challenge has brought to light a couple of items of interest. 1) the use of scoped variables in KiXtart and 2) the rounding method automatically employed when evaluating integers and doubles.

Thanks Jens for another entertaining week.
