Having read the transcripts which were posted here, I wouldn't have passed 
any of them (not even the humans :-).  I agree with another posting that all 
programs should deal with one domain for fairness.  I was surprised at just 
how much like Eliza the programs were, considering how long people have had 
to improve on the original.  Looking forward to next year's efforts.
