Sorry, my mistake. I thought that they did not mandate one particular algorithm, but apparently I was wrong. They say: "We are trying to show the performance of various programming language implementations - so we ask that contributed programs not only give the correct result, but also use the same algorithm to calculate that result." Thanks for the correction.

Well, "we ask" is not the same as "we receive" :-) Also, because of the differences between such a wide range of programming languages, there has to be some slop and flexibility in the way the programs are allowed to be written -- otherwise it really would be C written in Haskell. http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/dont-jump-to-conclusions.html#comparison http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/dont-jump-to-conclus...
