Combining elements of Christian apologist C.S. Lewis' "Narnia" series and "Space Trilogy," Norman Juster's "The Phantom Tollbooth," Lewis Carroll's classic "Alice in Wonderland," and Madeleine L'Engle's perennial favorite "A Wrinkle in Time," "The Portal" is a delightful, if short, first installment...

To come up with a solution that these programmers w...
