Many thanks molly for your interest in this challenge. And yes we're all beaten with that c++ code :)

I would have registered in CodeFights to get the data, if it had Pascal. They have dozens of languages but not Pascal, which is both functional, used, and a classic. How odd. Although Pascal is not in the top 10 of most used languages, I know it's in the top 20 (looked at it recently), if you believe in that kind of data. Good as a guide, bad to look at it as precise data due to the different weights and measures done for statistics.

Beep us when they add Pascal to CodeFights and I'm sure many will join for fun (although the site seems to advertise itself as a job opportunity thingy). It would be cool if from time to time a Pascal user would be among the best solvers in a challenge.

Sure I will do. I already commented on 3 or 4 people threads in their forums to add pascal. Seems that there's no other way to communicate with them.

Now I just remembered that there's a similar section in StackOverflow, people post challenges and pretty much any language is accepted, except custom languages used to solve the challenges. I once started to read the rules, which try to cover all smartassiness like if the challenge says 'print if the sequence is right' then the program would be printf("if the sequence is right"); and other gems.

Hello, I know this is old but they have added Free Pascal into CodeFights if anyone wants to play.
