Given the interest in participation, is there also interest in a private leaderboard for participants using Ada?

I could go either way. On the one hand, it could motivate participation! But the leaderboard seems to operate on a "faster is better" proposition, and I while I finished this one relatively quickly (given my lack of experience), a much better program emerged after reading comments on my code (thanks Maxim and Emmanuel!) and after reading a forum for a different language, where I discovered that my code had a bug.

Also negative: I don't think there's any way to guarantee that someone used Ada. You just add yourself to the leaderboard using a code.
