    Most programs fails. The contenders content themselves with sending
    in extremely short programs that don't work but get a gold medal
    for being short.
    It is different to Rosetta in this respect, the output is checked
    and the descriptions are unambiguous. I think superior.

    After spending one more hour I discovered that the code is kept secret.
    You can send in a shorter program than the current champion, and
    you get a gold medal, but you can compare to other programs.

    From a learning perspective this is worthless. Stick to Rosetta,
    even of the above criticism is valid.

    I guess, either "but" should be "and", or "can" should be "can't" ?

    You are right, after playing a while on the site, most of time solutions are char/byte count as priority instead of working code...
    :) & of course rosetta code & forth documents are still the best by far ...
