Before I start, I have few notes.
Links will be available once the question will be published. I am keeping it in sand box until the next Monday, October 28.
I am going to invest some money in advertising this question, so take under your consideration that it will be visible to many new users ...
I posted this earlier but they suggested I put it in the sandbox which made a lot of sense.

recently I got some upvotes but no reputation for that, why is that?
I thought this would depend on an delay to refresh the reputation, but this was several days ago.
@TwiNight No. 512 bits is enough unless people are willing to spend money on AWS instances; 256 bits is not enough; the exact cutoff is somewhat blurry because it depends on how quickly a cracker is able to get to work. If you're lucky and post just after they go to bed, you can get an extra few hours.
Unlike other online testers, regexlib.com has two options selected by default. I thought the regex should also work with those options. But it doesn't. And the regex doesn't work anywhere except regexlib.com.
@MartinBüttner It's a change to the options, or a fix for the inconsistency in the options as I didn't say those should be selected. And if people try it in .NET, they should be using the correct option. It is misleading if they try on the tester.
Well, they could have opened the tester first, seen the options there, and taken them to be part of the setup. I think it would be fair to extend the deadline, and with those huge primes I don't think it will really put your submission at risk. ;)
I hope this isn't too off topic, but.. I want to run unison (like rsync but better) between my home computer called A and my work one called C. A can connect to B and B and C can communicate freely. Of course the standard solution is ssh port forwarding but B, which is not administered by me, seems to have disabled that
@Sp3000 In fact, those strings don't have to be empty, and you can possibly have random accessed memory with non-empty strings. But I didn't try that yet.
Oh? I was under the impression that you needed to use empty strings because there's infinitely many of them in any string... unless you're thinking of using lookaheads or something?
5 Miscellaneous Flag Challenges code-golf graphical-output geometry
We've had questions on the South Korean flag and the flag of Nepal. I thought that some other flag questions could be interesting.
I've grouped these into one post to avoid cluttering the sandbox with potentially bad posts. Onc...
@Sp3000 And you can have a try with that regex technique if you want to. I didn't plan to do that in a few days. But if there isn't an answer with this after a week or so, I'll try something like much shorter multiplication regex, or brainfuck interpreter.
Say, you have a bunch of decimal numbers that add up to a value (classic example: percentages which add up to 100). But you only want to display them to certain precision. How do you round them to ensure that the rounded numbers still add up to the target sum?
I was just going to suggest something like that... I just wasn't sure whether a) there's some weird edge case I'm overlooking or b) there's a simpler alternative
@MartinBüttner I have read something like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apportionment_paradox , which means your method probably always have edge cases. So I think you can just use something looks simpler, if that's not too important.
I'm going with keeping track of an offset and rounding accordingly now. It seems to work quite well so far.
damn, this challenge is trickier than I thought
my idea was this: generate an image that has the correct amount of pixels of each colour. shuffle all the pixels. and then keep swapping pixels until planar regions form. but that last part is actually quite tough.
Someone proposed using parseInt on the property name with base 36, but it turns out that rounding issues caused incosistent results between browsers...
Our goal is to find the length of one of the longest extracted palindrome from a given word w. Of course if w is a palindrome then the answer should be the length of w, and the answer is always greater or equal than 1.
hi @Peter... I'd like to pick your brains about a challenge idea, but it would kinda defeat the purpose of the idea if I revealed it publicly (in chat or sandbox)... is there any way to contact you in private?
Oftentimes new users innocently specify the winning criterion as fewest characters, as opposed to fewest bytes, without being aware of the differences. As a result some of the answers may be encoded into large Unicode values. But who enjoys seeing an answer solely consisting of a big Unicode turd...
@MartinBüttner Did you see the old question I started a bounty for CJam/GolfScript answers? It's OK if all CJamers/GolfScripters see that and decided not to do. But looks like I'm just going to award a bounty to a random old answer after 7+2 days, and nobody knows why.
@user23013 I didn't actually re-read the spec yet, but it seems quite tough in CJam... I'm not that comfortable with stack based languages for more complicated tasks yet. Maybe @Peter is interested? :)
