@MartinEnder Hey, I'm really sorry I didn't respond earlier. My IRL has been super crazy recently, and it doesn't look like that'll change any time soon. So I have basically zero time and energy for PPCG right now. I didn't want to have to do this, but I don't think I'll be able to make that challenge. Do you think you could get Helka to cover it?

No worries. I'll ask him.

Thanks!

@HelkaHomba Would you be up for writing the Best of 2016 prize challenge for ais523 after all? See above messages.

@MartinEnder I could. Probably by next week

That would be great :)

ais523
a is 523
A is 523
hex dec and oct values of  both A and a =
100 + 64 + 144 + 65 + 41 + 101 = 515
515 + 8 = 523
515 has 2 5's and is length 3
getting close...

you could also do something about his involvement with esolangs, which is kind of a big deal :P
