if I remember correctly I had to simplify the expression [i*(1&"w$]m.k{%\177o"[@z.to_i]>>@x/2*3+i-1),1] to snip of 20 more bytes, but it might be that I had to change the approach in some parts
In my opinion, answering your own question rules that explanation out. You obviously do not understand that explanation. So you need something else. What do you need? I don't know, so I vote to close as unclear.
@MartinBüttner It would depend on how obvious the answer is. Sometimes the answer uses one terminology, and the question uses different terminology. Maybe the confusion lies there. I'm talking about questions that literally say "Foo is Bar. What is Foo?"
@Rainbolt That sounds like a bad question in that the answer depends on the level of pedantry in interpreting the question. (With my ex-rules-advisor hat on, I would say "Three. However, once the activated ability resolves...")
@PeterTaylor True. You could write an if/else answer to cover that, but then you are still left wondering "How do you even play Magic if this is a source of confusion for you?"

Scoring a Go game is a task that is not all too easy. In the past there have been several debates about how to design rules to cover all the strange corner cases that may occur. Luckily, in this task you don't have to do complicated stuff like life and death or seki detection. In this task, you h...
@DavidOngaro normally, "exists" means that it must have existed before the challenge was asked and that a working interpreter "exists" for those assumptions (in this case, the codepage)
@TheBestOne I think PPCG should count as "an interpreter" for English. You type in what you want to do, and it spits out runnable code in a variety of languages :P
sadly, the interpreter doesn't like things that are too hard or too easy or too vague or too strict or too i-don't-like-this or too my-language-isn't-suitable-for-that
@Geobits also, each program can be interpreted at most once (where the definition of equality between different programs is decided rather arbitrarily by the interpreter)
You're missing the rather important matter that the interpreter is self aware, and meticulously documents it's on going internal conflicts on what it considers a suitable program for it to interpret in this thing called "meta"
WTH... Wiki (or Chrome) is acting strange on me. At this page the link right above the reference section (International Ranking of Household Income) doesn't want to be clicked. It jumps to another column the first time I click it. Then it jumps back if I click the empty space where it was.
thanks. I've got a Lenovo, but I don't seem to have that software... I may have razed the system completely right after I've got the laptop, I don't remember.
@Geobits I was able to compile and run your submission (had to use the classpath option), but the controller hangs when it tries to read he bot's message.
This is so strange. "@NBZ In accordance with a famous ruling of R' Moshe Feinstein, you may follow your differing minhag around here, but only silently. So, you may post your Purim Torah in Adar I and delete it before anyone else reads it, then undelete in Adar II."
So basically, they encourage people to post parody material, and then immediately delete it, and then undelete it during Adar II
So on February 18 that means they would have a huge influx of parody material. Then, on March 7, every single parody question gets closed as Too Localized.
No, the input isn't part of the source code. But for the online demo, there's no separate field for stdin, so what we always do is to pop the empty string and supply the contents of stdin as a string.
So, I had my department head come into class today to discuss how to handle class fees, and my teacher thought that he didn't handle it well. Anyways, my teacher has been blowing up about the issue, bccing all of the students, finally saying that "your pride is getting in the way"
Congrats. I've never hit the rep cap, and I have two challenges with over a hundred votes. Seems like slow and steady beats out the one shot rep fountains.
I dropped Anatomy and Physiology the second I was doomed to make a B. But I'm assuming that these guys are failing classes that they absolutely need to have in order to graduate?
there was a brief time when I thought I might get into Oxford during which I considered doing some work, but then they rejected me so that didn't happen
@FUZxxl Its the parent's responsibility to make sure that a kid has an education. America's system was originally started for those whose parents could not give them an education.
(Assuming we are talking about the same definition of college = undergrad, because that's been a problem before.) It's mainly about when "specialization" starts to happen, I think.
@TheBestOne School does much more than education. It's about socialization and introduction into culture.
Germany tries hard to avoid parallel cultures. By sending all children to schools, they get out of the environment created by their parents which is very important.
It's not about being a special snowflake. At least here, public schools aren't that good except for the average kids. Slow and fast alike get tossed to the side. Private schools are out of reach for many.
You can self-teach to a point in school. If you have X hours in a day to learn and Y of it is dedicated to things you've already mastered due to fixed curriculum, you only have X-Y to self-teach.
I think there's quite a bit of variation when it comes to "US schools." My school, for example, places an incredible amount of responsibility/freedom upon the student.
@Geobits You actually have less than X-Y, because you cannot learn as well in the evening after having been at school for 9 hours. (No, I won't link to a real study.)
@FUZxxl A better system would be one that gives you unlimited freedom as to education. However, if you abuse that freedom to not learn, one's freedom for education should be slowly restricted.
