The time frame for each challenge may be set to say 7 days or 14 days (as what tsql challenge forum does) and after that new challenge will come up and the cycle will go on.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00434952131147034465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677649049588007585.post-40732292947219838142010-07-23T13:10:08.442+01:002010-07-23T13:10:08.442+01:00I like the idea but I agree with the time issue.

The problem is that it couldn't be automated so any remaining chucks of life you have left would disappear.<br /><br />If this ever does go forward, I suggest the winning code be added to https://www.samplecode.oracle.com/<br /><br />Regards,<br />DanDan McGhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971112000913341546noreply@blogger.com
