Solve Grid-Tangram
This is just a rough outline under development, feel free to share thoughts!
The Tangram is a dissection puzze made from seven shapes: Five different sized triangles, a parallelogram and a square. Given a shape, the goal is recreating the shape using all the pieces and withou...

@flawr One possibility for input is to just give the solid black shape, and require programs to output the tiles with white outlines. I feel like that's most true to the Tangram puzzle.
You could come up with an input/output that works via labeling the pieces and giving their positions and orientations, which would theoretically open up the challenge to more languages, but I think sticking to making it a visual challenge is more interesting.

Seeing things like this reminds me that this stuff is old
The book is wrong. The standard does not specify if plain char is signed or unsigned.
In fact, the standard defines three distinct types: char, signed char, and unsigned char. If you #include <limits.h> and then look at CHAR_MIN, you can find out if plain char is signed or unsigned (if CHAR_MI...

A Fragile Quine
A fragile quine is a quine that satisfies the property of having each substring made by removing a single character, when evaluated, produces an error.
For example. If your program asdf is a quine, then for it to be fragile, the following programs must error:
sdf
adf
asf
asd
...
