February Programmer's Challenge is open to us

[Geoff Canyon]

This month's programmer's challenge in MacTech magazine is open to us, and actually offers some advantage to users of high-level tools: up to a 25% bonus is offered for good presentation of the results and other niceties.

I've given a bit of thought to what algorithm might work to solve the problem and I'd be happy to share with anyone who wants to tackle this. I suspect that anyone who's familiar with chip-design software algorithms will be way ahead of me, since the problem seems similar.

It's due Feb. 1. The details are available at:
