A: Sandbox for Proposed Challenges

NeilDerive an MIU string The MU puzzle in Douglas Hofstadter's Gödel, Escher, Bach involves a simple formal system called "MIU". It works as follows: MI is an MIU-string If xI is an MIU-string, then so is xIU. If Mx is an MIU-string, then so is Mxx. If xIIIy is an MIU-string, then so is xUy. If xUUy...

Q: Rudin-Shapiro sequence

alephalphaThe Rudin-Shapiro sequence is a sequence of \$1\$s and \$-1\$s defined as follows: \$r_n = (-1)^{u_n}\$, where \$u_n\$ is the number of occurrences of (possibly overlapping) \$11\$ in the binary representation of \$n\$. For example, \$r_{461} = -1\$, because \$461\$ in binary is \$111001101\$, wh...

ok for a challenge to specify "output a table"?
since ASCII-art or HTML or some other format would all be fine for this challenge
List of lists?
i guess so? but it wouldn't work that well since there's empty slots
i think i'll just require ASCII-art for now but i'll sandbox it for a couple days while i decide
That sounds like a unnecessary hard output format, formatting the table would probably be the majority of the work
Why not allow empty strings in a list of lists?
the challenge is to do Synthetic division
i feel like it would make sense to have it be ASCII art
but i'll think on it a bit more
