[ADXA] BIC Challenge complete!

[Dennis Schaefer]

Oh wow, that's great!  I am going to remember "sitzfleisch".  I know where
I got the "Butt in Chair" thing - a contester once wrote an article on how
to do contests, and he said "If you're going to work the contest, then work
it!  Keep your butt in the chair"!
73,
Dennis
