(...) I hope you will not be too tough on her. She probably found the assignment and thought it sounded good and assigned it without taking the time to try it out herself (happens more at this time of year when teachers are getting swamped with (...)

(...) Just getting *over* 100 is quite easy, you just need words that have a number of late alpahabet letters. Since R, S, and T are common letters and are late in the alphabet you are all set. Like I said, ironically, "alphabet" itself is 99... so (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

My son had a similiar assignment (2nd or third grade - he's in fourth now), but it wasn't *exactly* 100. I don't remember the exact parameters of the assignment, but it wasn't something frustratingly difficult - finding exact 100 pt. words is going (...)

(...) This must be proof that linux is better than solaris. There's 20,000 more words in /usr/dict/words on my dedrat 6.x box, and 242 more of them score 100 points. The religous wars can end now. :) Still no x or z. Oddly enough, my dedrat 7.0 box (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Neither could I. This one's on sloaris, and I apologize for my mediocre coding style. It's still much more readable than that perl mess ever hoped to be, but probably took me longer. :) #include <stdio.h> int fd; FILE *fi; char buf[20]; int (...)

(...) I couldn't help it... and it's my first attempt at a one liner :) perl -ne 'BEGIN{for('a'..'z')...f$t==100;' /usr/dict/linux.words comes out with 498 words out of 45402 in the file... pretty fast too :) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Hm. Figuring the average letter is worth 13.5 points, this means that most words are going to be in the 7-8 letter range. That's probably reasonable for a third grader. I suppose it's a way to get in a heck of a lot of boring arithmetic (...) (23 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
