so from a quick look at submissions, I have the results.

Scoring rules:

earliest buy: 2014 = 1 point, 2013 = 2 points, ..etc to 2003 = 12 points

breakeven: < 0.50 = 10 points, 0.50 to 1.00 = 9 points, 1.00 to 1.50 = 8 points .. etc to > 4.50 = 1 point

Bill couldn't compute his breakeven (couldn't find his abacus). He bought at 1 which after the split is 5, but it's reasonable to assume he pulled this down, so i'm giving him 2.50. I think lebnjb is saying his is 2. So the scores are

lebnjb = 12 + 6 = 18 (gold medal)

bill4810 = 12 + 5 = 17 (silver medal)

alfederici = 7 + 8 = 15 (tied for bronze)

oldguy = 8 + 7 = 15 (tied for bronze)

Alton finished out of the running with 4 + 7 = 11, but he gets an honorable mention for holding Agoracom president rank and for his many diligent computations.

contest is still open for new entries, corrections or re-submissions.
