... Ahem! I see the Brit Empire has done a bit of expanding lately. Are we including 'em all in the UK just to make things simpler and stop them arguing with each other ?

Ahh, if only we could.
This was intended as the UK Challenge discussed here, but BS does not yet allow you to set participant restrictions and so we've picked up a few... irregulars.
Actually, looking at it (didn't check the teams before) it would appear that we're the only UK team currently involved!!! Let's call it a warm up instead.

There are an awfy lot of them.  Shouldn't we try and focus on particular ones? We need a system for deciding what we should do & then making sure that we all know about what we are working on @ any one time. If you want me to create a new forum 4 this PM me with your ideas.

There are, but only a few (2 at present) are active at any time. I've had a few ideas about a forum change so I'll PM when I get it straight in my head!

Yup let's do the Einstein challenge. We are languishing in 98th fo it and could be out of the top 100 in a couple of months if we are not careful.

New challenge appeared last night, so I've added it to the query section. It unfortunately overlaps with the SIMAP Scramble but I thought I'd offer it up...

I tried to set it earlier to minimise the SIMAP overlap, but that was the earliest I could get it to accept! Oh well, one computer for each of Rosetta & SIMAP for me.
