No one posts an example of the code - it would cheapen the exam. Just download the problem, and tackle one piece at a time. When you hit a snag, search the archives - your particular answer will almost certainly be there. If you can't find the answer on your search (and it's harder to do since they changed search engines here!) then post a specific question about the piece that's giving you troubles, and I'm sure you'll get help.
