Wikipedia link?

Despite the heading on the task page claiming otherwise, there does not appear to be a wikipedia entry for "100 prisoners" --Thundergnat (talk) 00:56, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Fixed. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 19:04, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks. (Although I'm in two minds - maybe wikipedia should just be another reference)? --Paddy3118 (talk) 20:40, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

big speed up

Thanks to (userid) Craigd (using zkl), his observation/optimization of: if one prisoner fails, they all do.

A big decrease in time used.

It's programmers like Craigd that make me say: Damn! Why didn't I think of that ?!?! -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 20:28, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

That's in the Python too; the first failing prisoner breaks out of the for prisoner in ... loop. --Paddy3118 (talk) 20:48, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
