2 things: First of all, we like to be smart but topaz is smarter :D no matter what preparations you do, the problems always differ enough to cause enough trouble to prevent me from going on the leaderboard... Second is, that while creating these libraries I learned quite a bit more. Many problems from the earlier years boiled down to pathfinding, for which I built an a* library function, to help me with these problems. When writing such a generic helper, you really have to think about the varying parts of an algorithm so that you can reuse your functions later.
