It struck me as a good idea that the minimum score should float,

The idea is that in a contest where very few accomplish a working

everybody can solve it. Yes? No?

Hopefully I'll have time to improve upon my somewhat naive algorithm
and catch up. I was just happy to have something actually work
since I am out of practice.
