I feel like the dynamic programming challenge I solved on PPCG main earlier could help me, but it'll probably be useless. Still, reassuring that if there's a DP problem, I'll know how to solve it :P

@MartinBüttner I always feel like I sound really pretentious saying this, but sometimes listening to songs out of context of the entire album just feels wrong.
How hard will you judge me for telling you that I haven't heard Another Language yet? XD
@AlexA. I only really do this if I quickly want to check out a band on youtube (or with bands where the concept of an album seems to be "here is a random list of 12 songs we recently recorded")
Haha. I like their first two albums, Enter and Station, but they lost me after that. On those albums the instrumentation was interesting enough to not need a vocalist.
I've actually enabled the setting for this, but it won't take effect until the next build. And I can't be bothered to start a build just for this, so. — Chris Jester-Young ♦22 mins ago
I've heard them but I can't remember what they sound like. They were on tour recently with a band I like, but I can't remember what that band was either. :/
@MartinBüttner I haven't listened to the genre much, but your links are telling me I definitely should. A list (no matter how small) would be amazing! :)
Find an equation to match a graph
A fun activity is graphing equations. Even more fun is trying to guess what equation a graph represents. Now I'm making it your task to automate that task.

current_pos is the position of the haircut-ee that's currently being considered. line_pos is the position of you (the guy who you need to find the position of).
If the barbers list ever gets to [0, 0, ...], you know it repeats, so you can multiply the current position by whatever you want (as long as it doesn't exceed the target's position).
@MartinBüttner e.g. for place 5 given [2, 3, 5] you look at 5*L/R = 5*30/31 = 4.8, which means 2 has gone twice and 3 has gone once. Then you continue searching from there (which should only take a few more iterations, at most the number of barbers)
@MartinBüttner What's the protocol for deleting posts that get negative feedback on the sandbox? Do you just plain delete. Or like posted posts, clear it out then delete?
@Sp3000 How did you do C? I gave up when I didn't get my convex hull implementation working, but in retrospect I'm not even sure how I would have continued from there.
@Maltysen Well, it's up to you, but if you want to be nice to the high-rep users, then edit it down to a message like "Abandoned because of ... See revision history for details." ;)
... is C just basically, from the perspective of the tree, the least number of points possible to be seen from the tree with a 180 degree viewing angle?
for each tree:
for each other tree:
draw a line through the trees and check how many trees are left and right of that line, remember the minimum.
return the minimum of minima
