A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

5:08 AM

Generate a "Poem" code-golf string Given a strictly positive integer, N, produce an output satisfying the following: Produce an array of length N. Every string (i.e. "word") in the array is of length N. Every letter in the word is unique. Every first letter of the words are unique between each...

^ Any feedback for this?

Q: Solution to Goggle kids Code

Partially inspired by this question. Overview The execution of Goggle kids Code starts with an empty binary tape with 100 items, with the pointer starting at the index 0: 00000... ^ At the end of the execution, you can assume that the tape is implicitly outputted. Instructions Goggle kids ...

Even if it's a bad question, I'm posting it anyway, to save space from the Sandbox.

@Λ̸̸ If you really feel bad, delete it without posting it.

And you didn't actually delete the sandbox post...

@Lyxal Thanks for the accept. Although I clearly infringed the "one tip per answer" rule :-)

If you didn't realize it, every single person there provided multiple tips per answer.

If we posted the tips one-by-one, it's going to be a disater.

@LuisMendo bah, you wrote a great answer and got many deserved upvotes and the green tick. That doesn't matter that the rules were broken! ;D

And then there's the fact that I'm probably gonna use some of those 20 tips myself.

@LuisMendo Even if you broke the rules, the community still decides that your answer is a good one! :)

A good answer deserving a green tick!

@Lyxal Wait. 20 tips for 20 upvotes!?

12:09 PM

@Λ̸̸ I was just about to say that here myself.

Dang. That's clever.

Put more than 1 tip to get more than one upvote.

Well played @LuisMendo. Well played. ;P

If Luis Mendo added one more tip, I'd upvote the answer.

Nevermind, I'd upvote the answer anyway.

CMQ: How do you guys pronounce my username?

Because tts technology really does not match the way I say it.

@Lyxal Licks all

@Lyxal /lɪksɔl/

CMQ: How do you guys pronounce my username then?

Adám

@Λ̸̸ Pet storm

@Λ̸̸ a underscore (or "l")

@Lyxal either what Adám said (with "ol" instead of "all") or likes ol

Neil

@Adám that predates User A does it?

Adám

There's also "A _"

@Neil I think "User A" is the original.

Neil

@Adám well it's the earliest I could find anyway

Surprised that nobody simply pronounced "N".

I pronounce my username as "lambda slash".

Nobody remembers a'_'?

I just use the silent vocalization

the silent vocalization - nothing means everything.

This also applies to base 0, as a matter of fact.

I'm definitely the only person in this chatroom using a computer.

@Λ̸̸ by computer do you mean desktop? only I can't quite see how anyone would manage to access this chatroom if they had no access to any computational power at all

hi all!

3:49 PM

using only the digits 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 can you make two numbers, one with 3 digits and one with 2, that multiply to 15741?

4:03 PM

@Anush yes

very nicely done!

could you have worked it out by hand? It is clear that the lowest order digits need to be 3 and 7 and there must be a 2 as the highest order in one of the two numbers

@Anush 5! is just 120 :) easy to try all permutations of those digits

it's a puzzle for 11 year old children without code :)

@Anush far from my biological age, but close to my psycological :)

@Anush Once you have that the numbers are 10a+3, 10b+7, you get 10ab+7a+3b = 1572, so ab+a = 0 (mod 3) . Quickly, we see that a can't be a multiple of 3 without reusing 3 or 7, so b+1 is a multiple of 3, and the only options for b are 2,5,8 (I don't claim that this is easier than guessing though)

The easiest way is probably just to factorise 15741
