Q: Find a longest shortest path between words

A popular word puzzle is to convert one word into another via a series of steps which modify only one letter at a time and which always result in a valid word. For example, BAG can be converted to DOG via a path of five steps: BAG -> BAT -> CAT -> COT -> COG -> DOG In this example, a two-step p...

@DJMcMayhem I hope this is gonna be a yes:)

@DJMcMayhem Does that mean (or sound like to you) they're gonna ditch swag completely or they just have some other ideas?

Q: Flow of materials from A to B with constraint

I have been struggling with this problem and haven't been able to figure out the solution. By solution, I mean the problem modelling, defining and structuring it, and then writing a program to solve it. It will be very helpful if a guide to arrive at the solution rather than just some terse code ...

Bug: the onebox above still shows me the old site favicon. Also, the bot could use a new avatar.

Adám

@JohnDvorak Maybe blame caching?

@JohnDvorak The bot did get a new avatar: The bubble now says "CGcc"

John Dvorak

Caching from when?

Oh, yeah, it does read CGCC now. But I maintain that it needs a new avatar :P

Hmm, if you take Gold to be three digits, Silver to be two digits, bronze as 1 digit. My rep is currently a "Stack Exchange" number

E.g., 4 silvers, 17 bronzes -> Any number made up of [1,7,4,4]

Double hmm, not sure if that would be worth typing up into a challenge

@Veskah Interestingly, on codegolf.SE, silver is about a third as frequent as bronze, among high-rep users. On SO, silver is only slightly less prevalent than bronze.

Veskah

Neat

Adám

CMC: Gold badges are worth 10 silver badges, silver badges are worth 1.5 bronze badges. Given [gold,silver,bronze], answer the pure bronze equivalent.

@J.Sallé C'mon, you can do better. The answer is right there in front of you!

Approach for finding a clever APL solution to problem X: 1. Try ⊤ and ⊥ 2. Try something else…

@Adám I'm trying a few "something elses" but I got nothing so far. Maybe I'm just being dense

In my defense I didn't get my morning coffee today

Adám

@J.Sallé Try to explain to me what you want.

@DJMcMayhem Is it silly of me to be bothered by mods being blue instead of green?

J. Sallé

@Adám well right now what I really want is an espresso >.>

Other than that, I'm trying to use LCM and GCD. IDK, math is hard

DJMcMayhem

@Adám Maybe a little bit ;)

@Adám Jelly, 6 bytes: 1.⁵,æ.

I haven't golfed in months so I may be a little rusty with Jelly

Oh whoops. I read "gold = 10 bronze"

@Adám well this is quite the opposite, but is 2 bytes shorter

Luis Mendo

@Mr.Xcoder You need to update the name of this site in your page. And possibly your age?

Mr. Xcoder

2:50 PM

@LuisMendo Hi, thanks for the heads-up. My age is still up to date. But which name are you referring to? (I'm probably blind :P)

A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

Is my Rep in Stack-Exchange Form? Premise: Your reputation is in Stack-Exchange Form if it can be represented by decomposing your medal counts (gold, silver, and bronze counted separately) into their base-10 digits and joining them in any given order (barring a few caveats). However while decom...

@Mr.Xcoder Programming Puzzles & Code Golf. We are now Code Golf & Coding Challenges

Mr. Xcoder

@LuisMendo Ah yeah, sure

Thanks a lot for the reminder!

Luis Mendo

:-)

Mr. Xcoder

I thought you meant the name of my site itself

Luis Mendo

Haha, no. It seems to be perfectly applicable

BTW, you have an impressive list of achievements!

Mr. Xcoder

Thanks a lot

Updated.

I'll keep the abbreviation PPCG though

yesterday, by MilkyWay90

@NathanDimmer It will be PPCG in our hearts.

MilkyWay90

@LuisMendo Yes

If I can hold off the vacation, then I may be able to get a Fanatic badge

I would've had 2 Fanatic badges if it weren't for vacations and field trips

DJMcMayhem

I got my first fanatic badge while I was on a trip to Alaska.

@DJMcMayhem my family doesn't normally go to places with wifi

My school never does

@NewSandboxedPosts If anyone could take a gander and give some feedback

CGCC is a lot less distinct than PPCG-- just from a google search CGCC stands for so many different things.

John Dvorak

8:33 PM

But it compresses so well

lirtosiast

Unless PPCG is expected in your prior.
