Instead of posting the scores for the individual holes, it might be interesting to have a virtual competitor, let's call him BoB (Best of Breed) whose entry consists of the leading solutions for each hole. Then, if BoB is the leader, the people lying behind him will be aware that they aren't optimal on at least one hole, but they won't be given the huge clue as to which hole it is. -- Piers "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a language in possession of a rich syntax must be in need of a rewrite." -- Jane Austen?
