Mr. Bruck, I am afraid that perhaps you have not quite got the spirit of
Ada yet. Whereas in some other languages, particularly those with a one
letter name, there may be a tradition that brevity is more important than
correctness, I have to report to you that in the Ada world, we are quite
interested in correct reliable programs. I realize that this consigns Ada
to a small niche, the niche of reliable software, but that's the way it is!

Consequently, I am afraid that the judges will have to reject your 
submission in the "shortest search contest". 

Better luck next time
