I would not bother. If the authors of thsi contest want to be such
@##$(%*# that they change the rules to foil logging software (which
nearly any serious contester uses now) then they deserve to have the
contest die. They are just what they seem, old farts.

Perhaps I should not talk this way but they should join the 20th
