Live and/or learn -- looks like the performance is a little better now
that they're handing out bigger chunks.  The important thing is to learn
something new each time so the next one goes more smoothly.  Should be
nicer with hierarchical servers and so on for the next challenge... DES
or lobotomized DES or whatever.

tells an underling to go search the forest and rout out the troublemakers?
When he complained of the difficulty, he was told to form a "brute squad".
