Well, IDK C

LegionMammal978

Now that I think about it, it only has to support k, M, G, T, P, and E because of 64-bit limits

@Phoenix I mean, it's pretty much just standard arithmetic and bitwise operators

Phoenix

@totallyhuman There are so many digits I went to wolfram|alpha to spell it out for me rather than figuring out that's around a billion by hand. ._.

@DJMcMayhem I'm not sure about the scoring method. Most safe answers doesn't mean any of the answers has to be particularly good; there only has to be a whole lot of them. Personally, I'd go with code golf, as making a short and safe answer should be pretty hard.

DJMcMayhem

Hmm, ok good thought

I was also thinking you can score on length of the crack, longer is better for the cop

Dennis

Not sure about I/O. Having to disable STDOUT and STDERR and exit codes and drawing on the screen etc. makes writing a good cop harder, but might become tedious rather quickly.

ATaco

Smart thinking.

Javascript, 31 bytes. a=>a.findIndex((x,y)=>x^y+a[0])

(Both operations would take precidence, because left-right evaluation, and bitwise > addition/subtration)

Leaky Nun

both operations?

if you use - it would be x-y-a[0]

It is widely known that Santa Claus delivers presents to houses all over the world in December. However, not many people know what he does during the rest of the year. You see, Santa enjoys a jolly good prank, and he'll often find himself pranking entire cities when he's not busy making or delivering toys.
One place that he particularly enjoys pranking is the South Pole. There are h houses in the South Pole, which are conveniently numbered from 1 to h. Whenever Santa is in the mood for pranking, he'll start at a particular house, s. He rings the doorbell, then runs to another house.

The first line contains two integers, h and d
(1 ≤ h ≤ 100,000; 1 ≤ d ≤ 100,000), representing the number of houses and the number of days that Santa pranked the South Pole that year, respectively. The next d lines each contain three integers, s, k, and p (1 ≤ s ≤ h; 2 ≤ k ≤ 10; 1 ≤ p ≤ h), denoting the starting house, the number representing his frequency of visiting houses (he skips k-1 houses), and the maximum number of houses he pranks that day. Note that he will visit p houses unless he passes the very last house.

Output g, where g is the house number that should receive the biggest and best gift (the house that got pranked the most).

@EriktheOutgolfer here's my algorithm:

If I'm not missing anything about my own problem (hopefully not...) you can sort it and then try to pair each element with the element immediately right of it. So if you have 4 1 4 9 1 8 9 1 8 4, you sort it to get 1 1 1 4 4 4 8 8 9 9, then pair 1 and 1, then the 1 is a singleton, then 4 and 4, 4 is a singleton, 8 and 8, and 9 and 9, to get 6.

i tried getting linux on my new laptop and it didn't like it

Lembik

@ASCII-only interesting! I used to enjoy solving problems like that

it was mostly ACPI settings were being annoying + my laptop was a bit broken

Lembik

@ASCII-only partly by reporting the right bugs

so like 90% of every bootup i got this weird screen glitch on the bottom half

Lembik

@ASCII-only that's bad! You should report it

@Lembik well idk, it happened (with less frequency) in Windows as well, I think it may have been the connector being partly detached? but that doesn't explain the difference in frequency

Lembik

ah!

which is why I use cloud9 for most of my linux stuff now

Lembik

interesting.. what do you think of codio?

if you happen to know it
