For instance, start with the solution that the Bob's came up with, and spend the time refactoring it. Perhaps it's not the same exercise that you are going for, but I think it would be interesting. The downside to this is that they made certain assumption about the interface that I think new development could do differently (and changing during refactoring would be borderline rewriting the solution). For instance, the assumption that you feed the object a single number at a time - there are other ways to model the input.
