231,275 PointsFor the code itself, I have a few suggestions:
- never declare a variable (using "var") more than once. Declare it in the outermost scope it will be used in.
- there a several opportunities to make the code more compact without compromising the functionality.
- when posting code, use the proper markdown so it displays correctly.
But overall, good job! I thought the phony "hint" idea was pretty funny.
