Q: Solve a separable differential equation

caird coinheringaahingA first order separable ordinary differential equation is (arguably) the easiest type of differential equation to solve, and takes the form of $$N(y)\frac{dy}{dx} = M(x) \\ y(x_0) = y_0$$ For two given functions \$N(y)\$ and \$M(x)\$ and an initial condition \$y(x_0) = y_0\$. Your task is to ...

BubblerExplicit-ify APL expressions involving trains code-golf parsing apl Related: Clearly parenthesize APL trains Background In the most basic form, APL has two kinds of tokens: arrays and functions. For this challenge, we will use a lowercase alphabet a-z for an array, and an uppercase alphabet A-...

BubblerFind the longest snake on a grid code-golf grid Background A snake is a path on a grid, such that it doesn't touch itself on a side of a unit square. Touching at a corner is allowed. An example snake: ##.#. .#.## ##..# #.### ###.. Some example non-snakes: ###.# #.#.# ##### .#... .#### ###...

Q: Solve the Rook's Round Trip in TikZ (LaTeX)

Joe85ACThe riddle In yesterday's newspaper, I found a riddle in which a Rook should start in the lower left corner of a 12x12 checkerboard and then, during a round trip, visit each field but certain ones exactly once. The riddle came with a picture that helped to clarify which fields to spare out durin...

The mysterious systematic downvoter strikes again :-/
The pattern seems to be: answers with small byte count are downvoted. No comment or explanation on how to improve the answer

Well, my answer was downvoted, but I'm not sure I'd call its byte count small 🙃

@LuisMendo APL one (24 bytes) was not downvoted, but J (29 bytes) was.
 
11:25 PM
@Bubbler My hypothesis is that they wanted to downvote all code-golf/esoteric languages and mistook J and K for such, because of their single-letter names. But they didn't mistake R because that's a better known language :-D Who knows
 
11:36 PM
An R answer doesn't look like an esoteric language, at least, while J/K code is a jumble of symbols at first glance. How they missed APL... no idea.
