It was probably meant as a silly in-joke, but the fact that esolangs.org requires users to understand Befunge to answer the 'new account' CAPTCHA puzzle is infuriating
How many ways can a river cross a road?
code-golf number sequence
A (closed) meander is a closed curve, that does not intersect itself, which intersects a line a number of times. A meander can be analogized as a road crossing a river through a number of bridges.
The number of distinct meande...
first of all who is "you" referring to? my user account or the person behind it? if the latter, well, that's off-topic for stack exchange since multi-user accounts are strictly prohibited
Today while browsing Code Golf, I discovered a language based on Shakespeare known as the Shakespeare Programming Language (SPL). (See 3.14ed_Piper's answer to Make your language unusable)
While trying to understand how the language worked, I came across the Wikipedia entry for SPL, which includ...

Thanks to HyperNeutrino for making more test cases
Often in chat, someone will ask a question, and multiple people will answer it at the same time. Usually, the person who was beaten to the gun will say "ninja'd", creating even more unnecessary chat.
Given a chat log similar to the following:

If it's a bad challenge, then you were clearly doing it for the badge, in which case I believe that's abuse and it also clutters review queues (though those are ALWAYS EMPTY anyway lol)
@cairdcoinheringaahing that, on the other hand, is an exception lol
xD though you announced its undeletion because it was a legit challenge lol

@totallyhuman I think it's fine, and probably the way people will solve it is to actually generate the meanders and count the number of them that result, probably with this algorithm. You might benefit by posting image examples
According to me, a tornado looks like this:
########
#######
######
#####
####
###
##
#
This tornado starts out with width n, and on each next line, a character is removed from either the left or the right, depending on the input.
Input
The input will be a list of some sort...
There have been a billion iterations of Fibonacci challenges on this website, so lets spice things up with a Fibonacci challenge of a billion iterations!
Your challenge is to output the first 1000 decimal digits of the 1,000,000,000th Fibonacci number with as short a program as possible. This ma...

@MDXF I was buying laptops, two looked about the same but one was $50 dollars cheaper so I bought the cheaper one, the first one had a CD drive but the second one didn't and I didn't notice
Basically, I was saying, "if the desired result is zero but the ToS is one, I want you to subtract the ToS by one. if the desired result is one and the ToS is one, I want you to skip the decrement instruction." ಠ_ಠ
