Thanks Ric,
I guess that why the specs were written, huh?
New version back up to 63 characters.
(a.{~,(('.'e.t){32 10)(,"0)2#65 97+/i.26)&(50{.[}.~2+[i.0{])t=. 'k'

Here is a 4 characters shorter version:

originally.

If anyone wants to post any of these up on the contest, site, feel free.
I'm not going to bother, though, myself. This is an interesting
exercise, taken by itself, but the "contest" aspect

There's always one in a group isn't there :)
I'd would say that the specs suggest that the period is added so that the case
of '.a' wouldn't come up as the only two letter arguments allowable end in a
period. Subject to interpretation, I'd call it a feature :)
By the way, I picked some low han
I'd say that it's both.
More specifically, though, it's not explicitly covered by the
specifications, or rather it's my interpretation of the
specifications.
That said, it's not likely to be compatible with the golf
implementation, and this task has "emulate golf" written all over it.

I think your point
And, I think this is one more character shaved off (45 here):

One interesting issue, here, is that the concise expression in J is
not because J was specifically optimized for this task, but because J
has so many expressions which can be used for this task.
But some people had expressed confusion, about how to read one of my drafts:

Raul,
I very much appreciate your contributions, and this one even more than usual.
thanks!
