If you are a shark, you could bite people! That has to be a lot of fun! revenge is sweet?

XD Bye!

Geobits

I don't know too many people I'd like revenge on, but there may be a few. Can I not be a shark full-time? That would get pretty old. Some sort of transmogrifier gun would work.

(assuming I have shark-thumbs to hold it)

I see sharks basically every time I'm at the beach. It's Florida, there are just sharks here, it's no big deal.

@Geobits I should do this with Seriously. If the -d flag isn't on, when it encounters an "error" (quotes because they don't really exist), it outputs a random one of ['oops', 'umm', 'err', 'sorry', 'stop that', 'pardon', 'hurk blargh'] to stderr

@TanMath No

@Rainbolt Revision history does most of the work for me

Martin Büttner

@TanMath just a guess: it's too simple and people don't like the slightly egocentric bonus.

TanMath

7:48 PM

@MartinBüttner okay, no bonus then

@MartinBüttner how shall I make it more complex?

I thought the secret for a good challenge is a simple challenge

Martin Büttner

you could allow palindromic multi-digit squares like 121 (maybe)

Rainbolt

I second that

TanMath

I was thinking to have a bonus like that

Rainbolt

Is it more or less complex if you allow a digit to belong to multiple squares?

TanMath

@MartinBüttner but would 11211 be under that?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

7:50 PM

^^^ make it canon

TanMath

@Rainbolt ??

Martin Büttner

@TanMath you can partition it into 1 121 1

TanMath

@MartinBüttner ok, but 1491 would not be allowed, correct?

Martin Büttner

it's not a palindrome, is it?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Assuming you take Martin's suggestion for multiple digit squares, can a digit can belong to more than one square?

@MartinBüttner are you forgetting the time when you used to partake in such activities?

Martin Büttner

@TanMath you could also consider allowing squares whose reverse is also a square if those exist

TanMath

@MartinBüttner but if the palindrome is a square, then its reverse is the same and it would be a square too!

@TanMath 121

Sorry for repeating this but it got lost and I forgot to ping @TanMath: Assuming you take Martin's suggestion for multiple digit squares, can a digit can belong to more than one square?

Anonymous

7:56 PM

@TanMath We gave you suggestions to fix the logical errors and to reword the challenge to fit what you originally intended (splitting on perfect squares yields a palindromic list). You made the challenge more trivial.

@Mego I was assuming that the partition would have to be symmetric

@Optimizer in caret spam? I definitely do not remember doing that.

Anonymous

@MartinBüttner I was trying to give another example where it wasn't a bunch of single-digit spam :P

Martin Büttner

@Mego yeah, but 94 is not a square, so your partition would have been 49 1 9 4 which is not symmetric

Rainbolt

There's a billion ways to go with the challenge that don't involve checking if a number is 0, 1, 4, or 9 so I guess we just wait and see what TanMath does

TanMath

which ideas do you guys like?

Anonymous

@MartinBüttner 4 9 1 9 4 or 49 1 94 (pretending 94 was a square)
