I thought the custom Fibonacci answer in Geometry Dash was going to be easy. Oh, how wrong I was.
But anyways, a few more fixes and I think it will work well
That is, if it doesn't randomly start executing other loops while already in aloop
And by 2.2, it will probably completely break
But 2.2's not coming anytime soon

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

AndrewMany Languages, One Task Your task is to make a single program that runs in as many languages as possible. Given a number n, your program must print its own source code, shifted by n. Shifting To shift a string by n, you must add n to the ASCII codes of its characters and take that as a string...

Q: They're autogram relays

AndrewCreate two programs in any two (not necessarily distinct) languages. Either program, given a character, should output how many times said character appears in the other program. A language is counted as a dialect or a language of its own, but not a version.

 
@Anush Why do you ask?

Q: Print a physical multiplication table

dzaimaRectangles have this nice property - an \$n \times m\$ rectangle consists of exactly \$n \times m\$ characters! A.. more interesting property is that the rectangles can be aligned nicely in a multiplication table - for example, a \$3 \times 3\$ table: # ## ### # ## ### # ## ### # ## ### # ## ...

@DJMcMayhem @Mego @Dennis should this user be able to write in this room? they've got 20 rep at ppcg but their main profile is at askubuntu
with <20 rep there

@ngn The requirement is 20 network rep
 
ngn
@Mego thanks. i assume that's the sum of all per-site reps
 
Anonymous
@ngn Correct
 
well... until the association bonus comes in, that is... :P

@EriktheOutgolfer Correct. The 10k network rep privilege for seeing chat flags does not count association boni. Neither does the 20 rep privilege for talking in chat, though it doesn't matter for that one.

Q: Determine if a list of words is correct Pilish

mbomb007Background Though this is a bit late for Pi Day, I saw an article about Pilish and thought it would make a great challenge. Pilish is created by using a sequence of words where each word's length corresponds to a digit of pi. Example from Wikipedia: The following Pilish poem (written by Jos...

"This is is more of a change that I'm getting from a SDK: The token I'm calling from the token (token) is from the token that an oauth token contains.

Is there anyway to offer a token token (and token) and send the token's token to put - in the token token directly?"

more like there is, but it's not the only factor, and other factors come greatly into play (time of day, personal opinion, etc.)

I wonder if there's a built-in for an AI in any programming language (EDIT: Does Mathematica have a built-in)?
If Mathematica does, what's the command (I think I have a raspberry pi and can run mathematica)
 
is a binary tree a good way to represent a pyramid of numbers?
for exmaple [1][2,3][4,5,6]
 
I have no idea where 5 is supposed to belong
 
that was contrived here is a accurate sample

@ngn latin_root must match the regex [a-zA-Z]{1,} to be clear
@Rick How did you get that
 
@MilkyWay90 I need to find the max path but I don't know how to approach the problem outside a binary tree.
I'm just given this ridiculous stack of numbers

Joke CMC - Popularity Contest - Make a program which prints out the reasons why popularity contests are on-topic [on hold]
 
Anonymous
@MilkyWay90 Most languages: 0 bytes :P
 
@Rick Max path for what?
 
@MilkyWay90 from the top to the bottom
 
@Mego People supporting popularity contests would flag that as "Not an Answer"
 
3
7 4
2 4 6
8 5 9 3
 
8:25 PM
@Rick Are the numbers relevant to where the path can cross?
 
for this one it would be 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23
 
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I see
@Rick See above, it may help you
 
@MilkyWay90 Omg I love this guy watch him all the time
I've this this one already
 
oh ok
Can the path only move down and right?
 
permutations to 72 skipping the white block
down then right or left
 
8:28 PM
ok
So it goes Down --> Right/Left --> Down --> Right/Left --> ... ?
 
correct but
 
ok
But what?
And can you post a picture of the shape that the path is going through
Like the one you were givem
*given
 
@MilkyWay90 I guess you are a genius!didn't
even think about approaching this way
 
@Rick Well, I live for MathCounts
 
CMC: find the smallest prime number p>2 such that {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10} are all quadratic residues mod p (i.e. there is x such that x^2%p == n%p for n=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
 
8:32 PM
@MilkyWay90 dude MathCounts guys is a genius!. I have never seen anyone break down a problem like him. simple easy to understand terms.
 
@LeakyNun Do you mean (x^2) % p or x ^ (2 % p)?
@Rick Okay
Also, what is the shape that the path is in
 
wow this probably now seems to boring to solve
 
And the starting/ending point?
Like the image that the problem originally came with
 
@MilkyWay90 (x^2)%p
 
@LeakyNun Also for anybody else, n%p == n for p>10 for |n|<=10
@LeakyNun ok, thanks
 
8:39 PM
@MilkyWay90 isn't that adler-32 algo
 
@Rick Wait, what?
 
where you take the mod to add numbers large numbers
 
oh yeah
oh wait
I don't know
I'm going to work on that problem
Even with my inexperienced math
 
ngn
@LeakyNun 311?
 
I don't actually know lmao

@LeakyNun solution
 
@ngn confirmed
@ngn solution
 
9:35 PM
I was expecting Print a physical multiplication table to involve a physical printer. Kinda disappointed. :P
 
I love python 3.8
 
@MilkyWay90 why
 
@Rick The := operator
 
@MilkyWay90 can't you just do, a = b || None
 
@Rick More bytes
It also makes lambdas a whole lot easier
Because only a single expression is supported for lambdas

Q: Sort a list of Numbers as letters

SimpleBinarySo, you have a random list (random meaning it doesn't matter what order it is in) of numbers with a length of n, where n is a positive integer smaller than 1000 and larger than 1. The random list must contain every number from 0 to (n - 1). Eg: [0, 3, 2, 5, 1, 4] (where n is 6). Your task is to...

 
def f(s):
 s=list(filter(str.isalnum,s.upper()))
 return s==s[::-1]
could be changed to
lambda x:(s:=list(filter(str.isalnum,x.upper())))==s[::-1] in Python 3.8
See, so much simpler, golfier, and easier to read?
 
@MilkyWay90 I'm conflicted about this
 
@Rick Why, exactly?
Can't address your concerns if you don't provide why you are conflicted about this
 
@MilkyWay90 it does not seem short enough to warrant a change
 
wut
 
9:57 PM
@Rick Code golf is all about making short code, no matter how small the golf is (as long as it is greater than 0)
And 0 byte golfs could be present as alternative solutions
 
@MilkyWay90 are you sure you couldn't have just written this shorter
 
yeah there's no palindrome builtin
 
@Rick Um...
Well
it isn't mine
I was trying to suggest improvements to an existing code golf answer
and used it as an eample
 
@MilkyWay90 would have been nice if they have python => instead of :=
 
@Rick yeah true
 
10:11 PM
But, it's not my place to complain. python is good at what it does.
