Let us ask ourselves, "Why is Fonality sponsoring this tourney?" In their rules, they ask that entrants be willing to talk to one of their recruiters. Clearly, they hope to hire some good Perl talent from the competition.

Ask yourself what Fonality would want from an employee in a similar situation. Suppose you were a Fonality manager and you asked a new hire to code a solution to a problem. If that employee knew that there was code on the web that (with minor modification) would solve the problem, would you want him to

  • Eschew the solution because he hadn't written it out of his own cleverness?
  • Use the solution, crediting the author?
  • Use the solution and make no reference to the source of the approach?
