Got to your solution by Googling, dunno if your Gist is public.

Oops, this the first real gist I've written; I'm not sure! Shouldn't it be public?

Should be private :)

Doesn't that mean that only I can view this gist?

I'm quite sure you can submit a Private one. You need to connect your GitHub account to Codebrawl.

Alternatively, check with https://github.com/jeffkreeftmeijer

All right, I will check. Thanks for the heads up!
