    kofacoto!
    Follow Up Information on Round 3
    On http://www.koth.org/pmars a placed a new version of the Perl program
    I used to make my p^3 warrior for round 3 of kofacoto.
    
    Look in the "Other" section to download it.
    
    The new version by default goes to the warrior in state 0 when brainwashed,
    but it also informs you that it's possible to reach this spot via
    brainwashing... pretty slick now.
    
    If you use the input which it shows by default when you run the
    program, you get the following output.
    
    
    
    
    C:\CWAR\BIG>perl p3-1.pl input.txt
    PSTATE equ 100 ; change this so its tougher to guess
    
    think   ldp.a  #0,      in
            ldp.a  #PSTATE, table
            mod.ba *in,     table
            stp.b  *table,  #PSTATE
    table   jmp    }0,      175
            dat    w0,      50
            dat    w1,      177
            dat    w1,      192
    in      dat    w0,      6 ; brainwashing with 4 will use this a-field
            dat    w0,      5 ; brainwashing with 5 will use this a-field
            dat    0,       7
    
    
    
    
    I used the new version, and re-ran the battles from Round 3 without
    the brainwashing bug.  As expected, Schmidt's warrior, which relied
    most heavily on my warrior's bug, was hit hardest, falling from 2nd
    place to like 14th place.  Moore's warrior still came in first with
    an amazing score thanks to his clairvoyant ability to figure out the
    exact step size of my paper!  Look at this line from his warrior!
    What a sneaky bastard... hehe.
    
    dist  equ  3520  ;distance between silk copies 
    
    
    
    
    Anyway, here's the results when I re-ran them without the bug.
