Contest 3b - misprint?

Please tell me there is a misprint in the samples given for 3b. I thought I understood what was required until I saw the second example.

I can see hypertext but where does 'class' come from without a blank?

Yes, the other misprint is in word "string" -> from "irgtni". Red char should be "s", not "r".

You can take letters from other muddled words!! you are not restricted to using the same muddled word.

for example:

computer
tennis rust point camper

you can take t + e from tennis, u from rust, p + o from point and c + m + r from camper.

but used letters cannot be used on other words.

I hope this has cleared some confusion up

Cheers,
Stuart

some questions:

1. abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz - only those letters are allowed ?

2. How many php files are allowed ?

3. Tell me if I understand the rules:

I read sentence - in array i have quantity of each letter
Then when i use some letter to build word - i reduce quantity of some letter in my array - i cant have less than 0 letter

ok is that correct ? :-)

seems like you have the right idea

1. - yes.

2. I did not specify a limit, but I suspect 1 would do the job.

3. Yes, thats about right. Only thing I should add - you have 2 spare letters that you can use when ever you need them. For example, if your array = 0 letters and you only needed say, a B to complete an other word, then you can use one of your spares as the B. You cannot use 2 of the same letters for you spares.

question about files - cause i have few classes and i hold them in seperate files

but this is no problem, before sending my scripts i will make ctrl +c , ctrl + v :P
