When I read 1.0 is being released in three days I almost dropped my coffee. Then I looked at the calendar… I fall for this every year!

Hello Cleveland –
If you’re not too busy rushing to finish your JuliaCon proposals, you still have time to vanquish your foes and win the love and respect of your peers!
- [The Final Countdown Timer](https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20180430T235959&p0=3926&msg=JuliaCon+Proposals+Due&font=cursive&csz=1#)
Currently `"too easy"` is at the top of the [leaderboards](https://juliatetris.com/) and destined to claim their winnings. You have until the clock strikes midnight to overcome this arrogant oaf.
Do or do not, there is no try. The choice is yours and yours, alone.
It’s been a great April. This is your Grandmaster signing off.
