That was... anticlimactic. Days 23 and 24 went by relatively easily, and Day 25 was easiest of all. Not complaining, and I still managed to find an Ada feature that I used for the first time! (I think) Time to buy the T-shirt ;-)
The competition rewards fast solution, done in any way possible, so writing an Ada program is not the way to get on the leaderboard... someone pointed out that you could solve some problems using an Excel worksheet. :-) That's fine by me; this was my first time doing it, and it accomplished what I wanted: by the end of the 25th pair of puzzles I had used (and felt I understood) lots of Ada features (language or library) that before I'd used at most once.
Thanks again to the people who sent comments and posted their own solutions; it was instructive!
