Though that works too for solving it, but you have to start from n=1 and count up until you get the right # of equal values

Sp3000

Hmm now that you say that, lemme get another case up...

Geobits

So what if more than one group aligns at the same time? Given 2,[1,2,3,3,3], after two seconds you'll have a group of 2 aligned and a group of 3 aligned. Does that count as exactly 2?

Anonymous

@Geobits Nope

Anonymous

That is 5 hands aligned.

Geobits

So not only do you have to check that n values are aligned together, but that all others are distinct?

Anonymous

3:05 AM

That specific case would be invalid input, because it is impossible for exactly 2 hands to be aligned

Examples:
-.- -> -.-
o.=.- -> o.=
-.=.o.=.- -> o.= or =.o

-.=.o.o -> o.o
=.-.= -> =.- or -.=

Dutch baby pancake

A Dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a German pancake, a Bismarck, or a Dutch puff, is a sweet popover that is normally served for breakfast. It is derived from the German pfannkuchen. It is made with eggs, flour, sugar and milk, and usually seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon, although occasionally fruit or another flavoring is also added. It is baked in a cast iron or metal pan and falls soon after being removed from the oven. It is generally served with fresh squeezed lemon, butter, and powdered sugar, fruit toppings or syrup. A basic batter incorporates 1/3 cup flour and 1/3 cup liquid per...

@Sp3000 360/x is the angular velocity of the hand whose rotational period is x. 360/x*n gives you the total number of degrees traveled by the hand after n seconds. 360/x*n%360 gives you the displacement in degrees. I don't see how that doesn't work.

@Sp3000 I've just updated my Pyth answer. I think it's only fair if you post CJam version. After all, sorting the emoticons was your idea.

Sp3000

Well, it's not anything you wouldn't have gotten :P

@Sp3000 of course, thanks

is xsot's python answer making the same mistake as i did?

Sp3000

Yes, I do think so

I think you need to max by sorted as Dennis and I have been discussing

@Calvin'sHobbies That's clever :P

Sp3000

btw @Calvin'sHobbies re the f= comment: did you want to specify a named function, or...?

Calvin's Hobbies

No, it's just he makes use of f in the code. i.e. I should be able to name it what I like

Or have it prenamed

Sp3000

... oh right, yes

Sorry, didn't see it was recursive

Dennis

@Sp3000 In that case, thanks! :)

A: Who is the sleepiest of them all?

CJam, 12 bytes q3ew2%{$}$0= This prints the sleepiest emoticon. Try this fiddle or this test suite in the CJam interpreter. Credit goes to @Sp3000 for coming up with the idea to use sorting.
