The Weekly Challenge

10. TASK #2: Five-number Summary

HEADLINES

Welcome to Week #172 of the weekly challenge.

Today is the first Monday of the month and time to announce the champion. Proud to declare PokGoPun as our next champion. He is relatively new to the Team PWC. In such a short time, he has reached rank #12 in Guest Leaders. His contributing languages are Perl and Go.

We have done interview with the last champion, Robert Ransbottom, please checkout and find out more about him in the interview.

Recently brian d foy contacted me and offered signed hard copy of his latest Perl book i.e. Learning Perl, 8th edition. I am given free hand to nominate the member to receive the FREE book and delivered too at no extra cost. I am happy to nominate, Colin Crain, our most popular and famous Perl Reviewer. I will share the details with brian d foy in the next few days. Next week, we are going to have another nomination.

Thanks to the contributions of Team PWC, we have reached the milestone of 100+ contributions 3 weeks in a row. Even the guest contributions also peaked after a long time with 75 contributions in 25 languages by 15 guests.

Welcome back, Bartosz Jarzyna and thanks for sharing solutions in Perl, Raku, C and Pascal.

Welcome back, Humberto Massa after a short break. Thank you for contribtions in Raku.

Welcome back, Kjetil Skotheim and thanks for sharing solutions in Perl.

Even, I got the time to do both, Task #1 and Task #2 this week in Perl, usually I have only time for Task #1.

Last but not the least, we have received the confirmation from champions contacted recently. Altogether, we now have confirmations from 38 champions. One more champion is going to be added to the list i.e. PokGoPun. As soon as I get the confirmation, I will get the T-shirt printing ordered. You can checkout the latest update in the blog post.

Good luck for the next challenge.

Our solo sponsor Pete Sergeant has been a great support to keep us motivated. We are lucky that he agreed to continue the journey with us in the year 2022. I would like to personally thank Pete and his entire team for their generosity. It would be great if we could add few more to sponsor the prize money so that we could go back and declare weekly champions as we have done in the past. I hope and wish this will become possible in 2022. The amount doesn’t have to be huge. However, it would be nice to show off bunch of supporters. If an organisation comes forward and supports us then that would be the ultimate achievement.
