I dunnow, but Japan Superior when it comes to speed coding. Last 
year's winner was a Japanese, and here, the two top contenders 
are also Japanese.
Looking at last year's stats, hos.lyric didn't fare too badly, 
but he failed to get to the final. Hope he'll continue to bear 
the D colors high, the Force is strong in this one. :)
