Better title:

Show HN: Solution to Vista Pick Pack Challenge (This won me 10K)

I don't like very much the "(This won me 10K)" and perhaps a moderator will remove it. But I suppose you are very happy with this so I copied that part from your original title.

Alternative:

Show HN: Pick Pack Solver (I won with this the Vista Tech Challenge)

I updated the title. But I did originally post it under a title like that a few days ago - with no response. So thought I would give it a second chance before getting on.

To be clear, it should be Vistaprint, since that's their name.

What does this work out per-hour for you? Not to poop on your accomplishment, but (BUT) it kind of sounds like five weeks of your time for one (or two) week's salary..

I don't make 10K USD a week to start with. At all. I didn't keep track of the hours unfortunately as a lot of people have asked me that question. But I would say that I have worked a couple of nights a week during that month plus some "thinking time" while commuting. I have a full-time job, a wife and three kids to keep my busy the rest of the time.
