Hi Neo,

That link doesn't work. I think you forgot to include the .com part of the URL. Unfortunately, if I add this I can only download the input to recreate your example, not XDb1 itself (as you imply in your text).

Fortunately, I still have a copy of XDb1 beta v4.4.7 (the version that was current when you posted your challenge and that any comparisons shouyld be made against). I doubt that anybody will be interested in repeating this old exercise, but if anyone really wants to make the comparison for himor  herself, then I am willing (if you permit me to) to mail him or her a copy of XDb1 beta v4.4.7.

But my solution can represent the case you set out in the challenge. You STILL owe me $1000. <shrug>

Best, Hugo
