I spent all of today at a Super Smash Bros. tournament, and I started thinking about some of the terminology we use when describing sets. These are the three kinds of sets that I see played at tournaments:
Best of 3 (Bo3)
Three games are played. The winner of the set is the player who won the...

This challenge is loosely inspired by the Zachtronics game Infinifactory.
You are given a top-down view of a rectangular grid of conveyors, represented by >v<^. There may be cells without conveyors, represented by spaces. Here is an example:

When dealing with long numbers when code golfing, getting the length of your code down can be difficult, so do you have any tips for making a number shorter and easier to manage?
For example, the following Pyth code prints "Hello world", but at 44 bytes, that is unsatisfactory:

Jolie laide (English translation: "beautiful ugly") is the French expression used to describe someone who is unconventionally beautiful. Snaggle teeth, a bump in the nose, closely set eyes are just a few examples of unconventional physical traits, which some might view as deformities, that are embraced under the notion of jolie laide. Although the concept of jolie laide recognizes that men act and women appear (as the writer John Berger once put it), it also recognizes that behind the visceral image lies an internal life.

The Coccinellidae (/ˌkɒksɪˈnɛlɪdaɪ/) are a family of small beetles, ranging from 0.8 to 18 mm (0.0315 to 0.708 inches). They are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, heads and antennae. Such colour patterns vary greatly, however; for example, a minority of species, such as Vibidia duodecimguttata, a twelve-spotted species, have whitish spots on a brown background. Coccinellids are found worldwide, with over 5,000 species described.
Coccinellidae are known colloquially as ladybirds (in Britain, Ireland, the Commonwealth, and some parts...
