5:00 AM
@Deusovi yeah
 
a koan has the Buddha-nature iff it shares a multi-letter substring with "ZENDO"
 
yes
 
yep
 
seriously though, you missed both BAND and BLAND? D:
 
ND seems to be my bane
 
5:01 AM
we asked for send, then bend, then band
it's not like we were changing a lot of the word
 
presumably mics saw EN but not ND
 
Yeah, probably
 
*a wild alconja appears*
another game going?
 
I can't play again, sorry
 
one just finished
 
5:04 AM
I can if we start a new one
 
I'll play again if no-one is too mad at me :(
 
I am moderately mad at you, but you won't be master anyway so it's fine :P
 
So we have at least 4. You staying deus?
 
sure
I got the EN-ND-DO thing pretty early on, but then when BAND/BLAND/UNDYING were wrong I gave up on that
 
5:06 AM
Easiest thing is to write a program on your computer
Then instead of having to check stuff manually, just put it as an input into the program
 
hey
 
^ that sounds like a good option for masters
if they can program, of course
 
...if it's computer-checkable
 
WHY didn't I do that!!
 
you also could've just ctrl+fed ZE, EN, ND, DO
 
5:08 AM
Well, your rule should be relatively easily computer checkable
 
not necessarily
 
Deus's latest rule could have been a pain
 
Contemporary languages are pretty bad at 2D pattern recognition
 
What was his latest rule?
 
what was deus' rule?
 
5:10 AM
(the rule was that a binary grid does not contain a isosceles triangle)
 
it was fairly easy to check in a computer iirc
 
Grid?
 
^^
 
Binary grid?
 
valid koans were 5x5 grids with some points marked
 
5:10 AM
This is confusing for those of us who don't do maths
 
three marked points couldn't have an isosceles triangle
 
@ffao code pls
 
Isosceles triangles... hmm... gimme a few minutes
 
two sides same length
 
and @wen is an imo contestant, so he does do maths, don't let him fool you
 
5:11 AM
not in the mood, but should be easy
 
triangles... hmm... gimme a few minutes
 
don't forget the edge cases people!
 
it would take a nontrivial amount of time to write
 
fun kata, though
 
5:12 AM
X--
--X
-X-
 
unfortunately, I only have trivial amounts of time available to me
 
brute force is viable
 
Ok, so who's going to be master?
...shall I then?
 
if you want, sure
 
Ok, so I give a true and a false to start?
 
5:16 AM
board = '''
----X
-----
--X-X
-----
-----'''.strip().split('\n')

points = [(x,y) for x in range(len(board)) for y in range(len(board[x])) if board[x][y]=='X']
print any(hypot(x[0]-y[0],x[1]-y[1])==hypot(x[0]-z[0],x[1]-z[1]) and x!=y and y!=z and x!=z for x in points for y in points for z in points)
the problem is that the program can be bugged too
so you still need to check manually
 
The code is always correct. The written description may not be.
 
yes, @Alconja, tell us what a valid koan is (for example, "a valid koan is a tuple of 3 positive integers/ a word / etc"), and one example for true and one for false
 
is that Python3?
 
A valid koan is a word. Chop is true, Cut is false.
Order: ffao, mic, JD, deus

don't, it's just a trick for them to know that you receive pings
then they're going to sell your username
