Let's say we have the input 5, which means ABCD is 0101. How does one get 5 from summing some subset of {6,4,1,-2}? Simple: 4+1 = 5. Therefore, WXYZ are 0110 because 0*6 + 1*4 + 1*1 + 0*-2 = 5. The corresponding decimal digit is 6.
@El'endiaStarman It doesn't look like it's possible to work backwards from what you got, that only gets the output digits from output variables - it doesn't relate input to output.
You don't have outputs at first though, so you can't get the decimal digit for binary code
This problem, at its core, is about converting between binary representations with different weightings. Binary is normally weighted like 8, 4, 2, 1. The filled-in table has the weighting 7, 5, -1, -3, and the problem table has the weighting 6, 4, 1, -2.
Okay, but in the 7,5,-1,-3 one, what does 4 have to do with ABCD 0,0,0,0 ? I see how it relates to VWXYZ, but we don't have either 4 or VWXYZ for the actual problem.

I'd be less miffed if [1,2]+[3,4] gave an error or was undefined, but to cast to string, when they are nothing like lists (other than being a sequence of things), is just silly.
@DemCodeLines By example I mean the filled in one with 7,5,-1,-3. The 6,4,1,-2 is what I meant by the blank one. You need to see what input code it uses.
@MarsUltor ....sorta. Using \function[](){} was inspired by LaTeX, and I'll be taking a few things from Python. However, there's a lot more to the language that doesn't come from either. Some features will be copied from similar ones in Perl, Ruby, and Lisp.
@RenderSettings \ simply denotes that what follows is a function name. If we only ever used \ , we wouldn't be able to distinguish, say, \print and \log...
@DemCodeLines That's where you apply the weights given as El'endia was saying earlier. You'd apply them to the 4 in our example, so 0100 should work with weights 6,4,2,-1.

What do you suggest? If we have Jeff and/or Joel come and personally TP the offender's house, it might actually make the problem worse. — Adam DavisJun 15 '10 at 18:59
