@totallyhuman from the accepted answer: "Also works in 05AB1E, Actually, APL, Factor, Forth, J, K, kdb+, Julia, MATL, Pyke, and Q." I'd assume you'd just add your language to that list
The challenge:
Randomly distribute 26 cards to players John and Mary.
The game is played with a standard 52 card deck; no jokers!
The random distribution of cards does not need to be uniform, but must be able to theoretically simulate any combination of hands.
Simulate the game until there i...
Explanation
A perfect shuffle is where a deck of cards is split exactly in half and the cards from each pile are alternately interleaved. The original bottom cards and the original top card must be preserved after a perfect shuffle.
After 8 perfect shuffles, a standard 52 card deck returns to i...
Help me golf my numbers! (Part 2) code-challenge test-battery
Thanks for all your help in Part 1! I recently just found out that my language also supports expressions, and we can use those to make our numbers even shorter!

@MDXF He's an older member of the site (who used to be a moderator) so he answered a lot of older questions that get more views due to their popularity
tl;dr: I'm starting a coding tutoring company, and if you have any interest in coding education, or want to get coding tutoring or be a tutor, email me at [email protected]. I hope to keep in touch with you all!
So long, and thanks for all the ><>

So Dennis and Martin are the really popular mods, they're everywhere and they're often in TNB. Doorknob is slightly less active but still can often be seen around. Where's Alex? I've never seen him.
I wouldn't be a mod for a few years. For one thing, I'm already way too distracted by PPCG and TNB. For another, I hate dealing with stupid people. For another, I get enough inbox messages overnight as it is :P
I love math. But I can't find a single calculator that can multiply correctly. They seem to get everything right except 6*9 (It's the question to life, the universe, and everything! How could they get that wrong?!). So I want you all to write a function for me that can multiply 2 numbers correctl...
Has anyone here aside from me used Decimal? I'd like to add a command/function but seeing as how I'm not the only one who uses it I should probably check if it's even a good idea
Shuffle a deck of cards
Input
None
Output
52 cards. No duplicates. Cards are represented as their unicode characters, e.g. 🂹.
These follow the following format:
The first three digits are 1F0.
The next digit is A, B, C, or D for spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs respectively.
The next...
Recently, someone proposed more stringent limits for Python's default line length:
Clearly, no program should ever use more than 80 characters per line, for a whole host of reasons. First and foremost, for readability and maintainability, it is important to have a solid standard, so we can ad...
Although MetaGolfScript is not allowed in answers, doesn't mean you can't make challenges based on it. Your job is to make an interpreter for the MetaGolfScript family of programming languages.
Your program will take three inputs:
A nonnegative integer, N
Source code
Input
You will then run ...
Lenguage, 0 bytes per line
Lenguage is the right tool for the job. It can be written entirely with newlines. This means that it has zero characters per line. Removing any one character will result in the program failing.
The program is just 1448777025545769063708632796840267320992689018831670...
The Challenge:
Draw a rectangle of ASCII boxes: []
The Rules:
Takes a width and a height input
You can assume both of these are numbers
Must produce a string with newline characters, \n
Examples:
2, 2:
[][]
[][]
2, 3:
[][]
[][]
[][]
Fewest Bytes wins.

So basically any challenge where each input (or the empty input) has multiple valid outputs, and the goal is to find the one that's the shortest to output.
Output the nth Perfect Number
code-golf number math
Challenge
Given an integer, n, as input where 1 <= n <= 2^10, output the nth perfect number.
Perfect Numbers
A perfect number is a number, x where the sum of its factors (excluding itself) equals x. For example, 6:
6: 1, 2, 3, 6
And, of ...
@musicman523 Not exactly. I'm talking about challenges where, instead of there being exactly one correct output for each input, there are multiple correct outputs
