The judges' prize will be awarded to a team that produces reasonably
competitive entries and, in the judges' opinion, has the most effective
re-use of their first submission.
In order to help us award the Judges' prize, we are giving
the contestants the opportunity to tell us about the organization
of their code. If you wish, you may submit a one-page essay
describing your submission. In particular, we are interested how
well you were able to re-use your first submission for the
second, and any interesting techniques, effective you used to
structure your code.
