t2′10 Challenge Solution

In real life it is not only about technical superiority but also how you are able to present your work. We feel that Mathieu Gaspard from France submitted an excellent write up that illustrates the Challenge quite nicely and accurately. So, without further ado here we go:

The only thing missing is the easter egg - you might want to ask Peter Kosinar about that ;)

t2′10 Challenge Winners

Peter Kosinar from Slovakia was the first one to solve the t2'10 Challenge. The speed that he pulled off the Challenge was absolutely amazing. His solution was both fast and elegant. One could easily think that Mr. Kosinar has solved some other challenges in the past :)

The second ticket goes to Mathieu Gaspard, France (again). He is the official Mr. Elegance (again). His write up was extremely well written and included excellent screen shots and illustrations. We will publish his write up shortly.

Congratulations to both winners!

We would also like to thank everybody who attended. If you feel that you would have an interesting Challenge for t2'11 please let us know :)

t2′10 Challenge Status

Peter Kosinar from Slovakia was the first one to solve the t2'10 Challenge. The speed and accuracy of the solution was absolutely amazing. Congratulations!

That being said, now the rest of the contestants should concentrate on the elegance of the answer. Good luck!

t2′10 Challenge to be released 2010-08-28 10:00 EEST

Since the dawn of our species (well 2005, if you want to be picky about it) t2 has been granting free admission to the elite of their kind, the winners of the t2 Challenges. Don’t be suckered in by all the cheap imitations out there, their snooze-fest la-di-da dog and pony shows, because t2 is back! And we’re pleased to announce the release of the t2’10 Challenge!

Now is your chance to join the past elites by winning free admission to this year’s conference!

This year’s t2’10 Challenge is based on multi-staging (much like good shell code), which will be powered by a scoreboard so that you can see — (almost) in real time — how the other participants are fairing out there in the land of the living.

The rules are simple: t2 will release the t2’10 Challenge and the first one to solve it will win free admission to the t2’10. But don’t stop just because you weren’t the first one to solve it: The Advisory Board will select another winner among the next ten correct answers, paying particular attention to the elegance of the solution rather than the speed. In other words you can win with either speed or style :)

The t2’10 Challenge will be released 2010-08-28 10:00 EEST right here at http://t2.fi/
