For problem #134: Flying Text Screensaver The demo provided bugs out when you give it the input "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" (without quotes) The length of this input is precisely the width of the demo's display. Not a big deal of course, but it was an edge case I thought of as I was considering a solution to the problem.

Went back to it to see the fix, not what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised. And thanks for the congratulations, I have my sights on getting to that #1 spot on the user rankings as I had noticed that noone (as of this moment) has solved all of the problems. I'll grant you though that the later ones do look a bit intimidating.

sorry to frustrate you, but it seems some colleague did this recently. though thanks to "challenge-type" problems there is funny (though ambiguous) way to fight for being top-1 :)

and I hope to come up with 216-th problem less or more soon anyway.

the later ones do look a bit intimidating

Not only intimidating, but sometimes also boring... My personal feeling is that though I've written all of those problems, I'm sure I won't have patience to solve all of them. And moreover for few of them I even don't know good solution :)
