-     Can you find out how it stores the insult strings?  Can you then take
-     an insult and figure out when it will be uttered?
+## Judges' comments:
 
-     [sc] The code also contains a buffer overflow bug which I have fixed!
-     The array size of "s" should be 1079 characters long.  (From 0 to 1078
-     inclusive!).  Without this it results in an error in the encoding of
-     "decrepit" -- For a 32bit little endian machine using GCC (because of
-     the way it assigns variables to memory) it will terminate "decrepit"
-     with the character '\200' (the last value of F) instead of '\0'.

-    The program appears to be rather confused, internally. It is
-    unclear whether or not "Lord Zarbon" truly understands the
-    mechanics of programming. What is particularly disturbing is
-    the curious method of insult-encoding employed by this program.
-    Furthermore, it is ambiguous how said data is arranged and why
-    it is necessary to resort to trigonometric functions to handle
-    it.  One of the real mysteries involves the numbers "114" and
-    "2", which are, according to Lord Zarbon, very deliberate.
