Although we've had Pike installed on the Computer Language Shootout for a few months, the default Debian install isn't configured for double-precision so several of the Pike programs show Error.

Recently I started running the shootout scripts on a Gentoo P4 box and installed the latest release of Pike configured for double-precision - which gives a much better impression.

Please contribute faster more elegant Pike programs to the Computer Language Shootout - they'll certainly be published on GP4 - and having more programs makes it more likely that we'll re-install Pike on Debian with an appropriate configuration.
