WINNER!!!

Mike's work held a coding competition this eve. There were eight or more teams competing.  And his team walked away the winners!!!  Way to go, Mike!   I got a text that there was a tie breaker.  I wasn't sure if that meant HE was in a tie breaker or if he was just staying to watch the tie breaker.  But when he walked in, there were some shouts declaring they WON!!!  

Here's my rendition of what Mike said was the play by play on how they made it to the tie breaker, 

(sorta like the telephone game b/c I do not get coding language!!)

"I couldn't get the diagonal rows of the tick tack toe to work.  Whenever you entered a "-1" into the spot, it would blow out the whole program.  I didn't think we were going to make it.  So as a hail mary, I decided to encode the whole thing in a tri-fecta (no, a tri space catch).  

And IT WORKED!"

update: that's $50 to the company store (merchandise with the company logo).... ;)
