# Curious minds want to know...

I was far from the best, but in case you are interested in what I did to get an 8th place finish attached is my approach.
Interesting fact - Runtime was about 5 hrs on an Amazon EC2
m2.4xlarge
machine (8 cpu, 64GB).  Total cost for a submission: $0.70 on a spot instance.  Of course, then there were all the experiments $$
I would love to hear from others!
