Lots of really neat ways to solve this one, and a lot of math needed. Many people did a 5x counter thing, since 5 is the greatest common denominator of 20 and 95. I had two people send me programs they wrote that helped with flipflops and cycle counters that I could barely understand, so I hope they post here and tell us all about it. And again I'm sorry, I should have made this the final challenge as it's just plain more fun.

While it wasn't as fun as Synthetic Elerium, I'm still really proud of the challenge itself as I thought it was really clever. But the hardest levels in SpaceChem are the ones where you have to make a complex object in one reactor, so in that sense it worked well as the final challenge.

Sibling of TB, pingcode and Half-wit have emailed me saying they're out because of real life things, which puts the 16 cutoff at LeschNyhan (unless they tell me want back in and I'd let them).

No one wants to win a match by default, so I have the top 5 backups posted as well who should also contact me. Once I have the top 16 confirmed I will post the final bracket, when I will also post the next round winners and challenges.
