HHC 2021 Programming Contests - Surprise !

[Gene]

The contest rules about allowed machines are for the ** conference ** to enable to judge (me) to be able to take entries and evaluate them in about 30 minutes early on Sunday afternoon.

That can be impossible if there are lots of different machines.

In reality this year, with 22 attendees at the conference, we only ended up with 2 RPL entries and 3 RPN entries.

The RPL entries were on the 50g while the RPN entries were HP-41CX (two of them) and one WP-34S.

Here in the forum, the allowed machines are not to be worried about. More importantly here is to share insights, innovative solutions, etc.

newRPL would have won the day in person had it been used, for sure... as long as the statements in the procedure were standard and could have been put into a 50g, 48gII, etc. :-)
