- <p>
- The <var>roadLength</var> game input variable used to be the
- cardinal number of positions the troll could be in. That's the
- way it was presented in the original game, but I leaned more
- towards distances to make the I/O protocol easier on beginners.
- So it's currently inconsistent.
- </p>
- <p>
- This is going to change in the following days to be a distance
- everywhere, more in line with the protocol's other measures.
- Not to mention being somewhat more consistent with the variable
- name. Thanks

- for reminding me of this.

- If you used this variable, I suggest you temporarily used one
- of these workarounds so you don't get bit by the upcoming
- change:

Just read the sample code. You can figure this out.

<li>
Enforce the one-stone rule. (that also fixed the legacy
buh—sorry people! I put an easter egg in exchange)
