@dkudriavtsev Define "how rotated"?

dkudriavtsev

you get the angles of the hour hand and second hand

and you need to find the angle of rotation of the whole clock

there will be a few variants for each position

this might not work too well though, at least on PPCG

3:05 AM

I don't see why it wouldn't work so long as the specification is thorough

Sounds like a great challenge

Could the input also just be the angle between the two hands?

3:33 AM

@UnrelatedString No. For example, you can rotate the clock to any angle and still have the hands with zero angle between them

But if the input is "Both hands are pointing straight down (180°) then the clock must be rotated to one specific angle

Oh, yeah, lol

@LeakyNun A proof that your sequence stops at 9719 (for this challenge). I’m guessing you had something similar? Would have been cool to have it in the challenge description

(Also who are you going to give the bounty to? Erik waited literally years for it but he doesn’t have the shortest answer anymore :p)

Leaky Nun

@Fatalize well the OEIS sequence stops at 9719 and it is full

and I gave the bounty to the new guy

Fatalize

That was your proof? that OEIS said "full"? ಠ_ಠ

thanks

Leaky Nun

@Fatalize it was 3 years ago and I have no idea what I thought

Fatalize

Wait… I said 2 years late when it was 3 years late ಠ_ಠ

And I said "almost" even though it was october already and it was posted in august

brain not functional apparently

Oh wait nevermind it’s because Erik posted in october 2017, more than a year after the challenge was posted

ioccc.org/years.html#2019 The source code for the winners of the 26th IOCCC has been released.

@b_jonas thanks!

how do you actually download the source of e.g. ioccc.org/2019/mills/hint.html ?

I can't find the link

@mınxomaτ are needles so much easier to find in a straw stack than in a hay stack? :D

@b_jonas that code is pretty special!

what's the new abbreviation for ppcg?

cgcc?

ah :)

I wonder if the awesomeness of cgcc/ppcg answers has objectively been increasing over the years

That tends to happen when more experienced users are using CGCC/PPCG.

Q: Credits usage to make selections

1:24 PM

@A_ right... I thought the answers to codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/194229/… and codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/194056/… were amazing in different ways

anyone here happen to know how to use scipy minimize?

It is driving me crazy

All you have to add to any question is "Shortest answer in bytes wins"

@Veskah It also makes any answer utterly useless to the asker :'-)
