to commemorate the release of the new mIRC version, a new challenge has been started on the swift mIRC boards:

this time you're asked to create an identifier that prevails where $rand() fails: negative numbers and decimals. this should be considerably easier than the last challenge, yet still tricky to produce a good entry. have at it!
