(1) Popularity contest isn't a sufficient criterion for a challenge. (2) What do we do if n exceeds our program length?

Sorry, I misread rule 2. As for the former, could you link to the relevant discussion? Those who told you were wrong.

@ConorO'Brien It's about a 40 min log: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/35689842#35689842

I believe in that conversation you turned a deaf ear to the voice of reason >_>

@ConorO'Brien I'm open to suggestions, what would you use instead of popularity-contest; we discussed code-bowling extensively last night and determined it isn't really do-able because there are too many un-enforceable issues with the challenge. Code-golf is also a bad one for this since I'm forcing line numbers. I don't see an issue with popularity-contest?

Hello

hello

you see, it can be code golf. the line number requirement can stay

Isn't it odd to have a code-golf challenge where a certain number of bytes is required? Haha

Also even then why is popcon considered invalid for this?

because it has no voting criterion

what makes something a good answer?

the winner is the most voted, but what should people look for when voting?

^

Fair point

I assumed the most enjoyed answer is what determines if something is most popular or not

not always

I am looking through the pop-con tag now and seeing almost 90% of them get closed

and "funniest" or "most interesting" is subjective, doesn't really work

I've edited it to code-golf
