Deception Island is an island in the South Shetland Islands archipelago, with one of the safest harbours in Antarctica. This island is the caldera of an active volcano, which seriously damaged local scientific stations in 1967 and 1969. The island previously held a whaling station; it is now a tourist destination and scientific outpost, with Argentine and Spanish research bases. While various countries have asserted sovereignty, it is still administered under the Antarctic Treaty System.
== History ==
The first authenticated sighting of Deception Island was by the British sealers William Smith...
In geometry the net of a polyhedron is an arrangement of edge-joined polygons in the plane which can be folded (along edges) to become the faces of the polyhedron. Polyhedral nets are a useful aid to the study of polyhedra and solid geometry in general, as they allow for physical models of polyhedra to be constructed from material such as thin cardboard.
An early instance of polyhedral nets appears in the works of Albrecht Dürer.
== Existence and uniqueness ==
Many different nets can exist for a given polyhedron, depending on the choices of which edges are joined and which are separated. Conversely...
I noticed that Piet is not mentioned in the How to count bytes FAQ. How should we determine the length of a piet program?
Write sign function which on given integer returns -1 if the input was negative, 1 - for positive and 0 for zero.
The challenge is not to use compare operators such <, > ...

Objective
Given two strings, your job is to:
Convert each character to their respective ASCII decimal value
Concatenate the numbers into one large number
Add these values together
An example for HELLO and WORLD
"HELLO" + "WORLD"
H E L L O + W O R...
With 140 bytes or fewer (Twitter counts by characters but for consistency with other questions I'll use bytes), write a function that takes no arguments and returns the largest finite integer you can.
Score is by how large the result is.
Restrictions
You must return a value from a function. Si...
