Golfers are in the Sand Trap when they have submitted at least one entry, but none of their entries are deemed valid or pass the test program. >From the rules: "Passing the test program does not assure your solution is valid. The referees have the final say." The solutions from both Prakash Kailasa and Ala Qumsieh had passed the test program at the time, but were found to be "not valid" and new test cases were added to the test program to show the failure. -- Rick Klement
