Shortest Cut and Paste Sort
Given a string containing a random sequence of unique characters A to Z (all upper case, no duplicates), determine the fastest method of a "cut-and-paste" sort and output the
sort sequence to a specific format (detailed below).

I can't find out what is wrong with my program; I need to find the 10,001th prime number. I'm relatively new to Java, so help is appreciated:
public class Problem7 {
public static void main(String args[]){
int[] Primes = new int[10001];
for(int i = 0; i < 150000; i++){
int count ...
Consider a string of length N, such as Peanut Butter with N = 13. Notice that there are N-1 pairs of neighboring characters in the string. For Peanut Butter, the first of the 12 pairs is Pe, the second is ea, the last is er.
When the pairs are mostly different characters, the string has a chunky...

This is the creepiest fractal I know (and also one of my favorites):
Using PICASCII, I've converted this picture to ASCII art and, with the correct font, this is the result:

It can be in any language, plus the map must be in the output only not in the source code.
This is my first question here, so please feel free to edit it. Also, there might be some rules about scoreboard which I'm not familiar how to put it here.
Cheers!
This is a challenge of practicing golf optimization in Python -- reusable tricks and shortcuts to shave off a few characters. Many will be familiar to Python golfers and use common ideas from the Python Tips. Some of these use Python-specific features that you might not know exist unless you've s...
Let's call ABC a triangle which has every side as an integer.
Every ABC that has at least 1 median (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_(geometry)) that is also an integer will be considered a valid triangle (they are all unique, so <6,6,5> = <5,6,6>, for example).
T(N) represents the number of...

Overview
This problem deals with two esoteric programming languages that I will briefly describe for completeness.
Brainfuck is a language that has only 8 commands. Imagine a tape of values (generally 0-255) stretching infinitely to the rig...
I'm thinking of starting answering questions in XSLT, but I don't know what the standard method of input would be?
I'm thinking of an XML file like so:

And then you access the input by using the following code:

1300 years ago, the English theologian Bede earned the honorific by which he is now known ("The Venerable Bede") by, among other things, convincingly computing the date of Easter for a number of years. This required reconciling the old, Jewish, lunar calendar with the newer solar one, a task made...
Minimal character set
Choose a language and find a minimal set of characters that you can use to write any program in that language. Then provide either a conversion program (preferred) or a proof that any program can be converted to use that character set.
