I said #lang scheme for backwards compatibility because I'm under the impression that more people already know scheme. Do you think that's a bad idea?

Programs should return the symbol 'C. I was using double quotes for their English-language meaning. Sorry about the confusion.

  1. I found it a bit confusing because #lang scheme refers to the old PLT Scheme (now Racket), not the standard RnRS implementation. For people unfamiliar with Racket—like me—it may be unclear which of the many Scheme implementations #lang scheme refers to. But I think either is fine as long as it is clear to everyone which one will be used.

  2. Okay.

I just wanted to clarify these so that scheming minds can't stir up a racket after the tournament, especially since I'm offering BTCs to the winner. Thanks for organizing this!
