Ahhhh you should switch to perl Golf.

The required program is hole.
The number of characters in your solution is your "strokes"
par is either the best score so far or the scaore at which you've had a good
punt.

ie
Hole: 
print the forest 10 lines of a text file.
You may NOT write to STDERR.
You can assume the the data desn't contain NULLS
You're code must (intheory work on a TCP stream).

(a) Solution:
#/usr/bin/perl -p       (" -p")      = 3
11..exit                ("11..exit") = 8


par=11 (I don't think that can be beaten) (Not my code, either)

It's _far_ more fun than wacking a little white ball arround and getting
sunburnt.

Yours Tony.
