[Icfp04-discuss] comments

[Eijiro Sumii]

Hi all,

We would like to remind you that we organizers do not always reply to
postings to icfp04-discuss at lists.seas.upenn.edu, as it is for
discussions among participants.

If you need our reply, please write to
icfp04-organizers at lists.seas.upenn.edu instead.  We watch it and reply
for all the 72 hours during the contest.

As for this question, comment-only lines _are_ counted.  As a result,
the above solution is syntax error because it contains no instruction
on the second line.  See the third item in Section 2.8
(Neuro-Cartography) of the task description.

Good luck with your ants,
