The solutions aren't up yet, so you have a very little bit of time in which to solve them before they're spoiled for you.

Ruby should go up Wednesday. Tomorrow I know Python and C++ go up, and hopefully Haskell.

[peteretep → tptacek]

Random meditation: I worked through a lot of the early exercises in Haskell, and partly to learn Haskell. I did a lot of things a "silly" way - didn't use the Vector libraries at all, for example. I learned a lot from doing that, and I wonder if a shiny set of Haskell examples using half of Hackage would provide the same learning experience.

Also: do you have a set of Perl examples? If not, I'd be happy to put them together.

Oh, these links are for the solutions? I thought that clicking on a language should take me to a code submission page for that language where my submission will be judged against different test cases.

They haven't actually posted the solutions yet, I believe.

[krankin1 → fierycatnet]

try running this in ruby:

['49276d206b696c6c696e6720796f757220627261696e206c696b65206120706f69736f6e6f7573206d757368726f6f6d'].pack('H*')

--interesting string output for challenge 1.

Gave me a bigger jolt than the morning coffee - here's a spoiler in Go: http://play.golang.org/p/YBfxhjvsOB
