What is the contest?
Longest "Hello World" Program; whoever can create the longest, bug-free script to print "Hello World" ten times and exit is the winner.

How will entries be submitted?
All code must be posted for peer review as a reply to the contest node. ONLY contest submissions will be allowed as first level-replies.

How will the entries be scored?
1 point for every line of executable code. Comments and whitespace won't help you! +10 bonus points for style (formatting of code/output, interesting routines, etc.)

How will the entries be scored?
Code length, of course. "Style" bonus points determined by peer review, based on either Rep. or replies.

Who will score the entries?
The community, or one individual selected by vroom.

When/will submissions be viewable by everyone?
Of course, the submissions will be viewable from start to finish.
