In this video,
Nikolai Tillmann walks us through pexforfun.com, a website where you can write small C#, VB, or F# programs and explore them directly from your browser by using
Pex. Additionally, Pex also makes it possible to play
coding duels, in which users compete to discover a secret puzzle implementation.
Tune in to watch as Nikolai discusses all of this and plays a duel with Aaron Shaver, our high school intern who has been writing puzzles all summer long.

Uack! I cannot use System.Linq! I'm offenseless!
That said, this is really cool and fun - playing around with it!
That would be cheating
Not really but a.Select(x => (int)x).Sum() is neater than the imperative variation
I see fibbo too...
Concerning the "anagram" puzzle: isn't that rather a palindrome-puzzle (str == reverse str)?
Anagram? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Ouch - you are totally right. We really meant palindrome-puzzle and not anagram.

Why isn't there an OverflowException?
Overflow exceptions are not turned off by default in C#. Use the checked keyword and you will get the overflow exception.
What kind of projector are you using? How are you interactiving with the white board? Drawing arrows, scrolling, etc?
Thanks,
Mike D.
We are using eBeam to capture the mouse on the projector. For the scrolling, the intern was simply hitting the up/down arrow on the laptop when Nikolai was dragging the screen...
thanks Peli!
You can now use basic Linq statements: http://www.pexforfun.com/Default.aspx?language=CSharp&sample=Linq
