@DJMcMayhem Thanks, I'll accept that when I'm allowed to. How can I make it ignore the first and third lines? (don't include that in the answer as it's only relevant here)

but that snippet removes the last 15 characters of each line, if you want to remove the last 15 characters of all of input, then use this: sed ':a;$!N;ta;s/.\{15\}$//'
I was wondering if anyone could help me a with a simple fastest-code challenge. I want to write a challenge to take the product of an array of complex numbers
the problems are a) timing it and b) giving the input

Python's random number generator is pretty simple once you wrap your head around it. I still haven't completely reversed it though, since the first key value is just assumed to be 0 rather than actually being calculated (it works for some reason though?)
Double JavaScript, 318 bytes
I'm not sure if that's allowed, I couldn't do it using the JavaScript interpreter once. It's similar to use eval() but instead I'm using the interpreter twice:
`\`\\x${0xA*0xA&0xC}${0xA&0xC}\\x${0xA*0xF&0xF}${0xB*0xF&0xF}\\x${0xA*0xF&0xF}C\\x${0xA*0xF&0xF}C\\x${0x...
@JohnDvorak In PowerShell you can condition on anything, too, but we have a wider selection -- 0, $null, empty string, empty array, and $false ... everything else is truthy
if input can't be empty, then /[13579]/d will work in sed, it outputs an empty string for a truthy testcase, or does nothing to the input if it is falsey
@StepHen I don't know, your sequence language will probably end up beating mine because I noticed that mine isn't really sequence-specialized :P It just has a bit more control flow that something like 05AB1E

Is this 2048 board valid?
Some 2048 boards are impossible to get into. For example,
2 _ _ 2
_ _ _ _
_ _ _ _
2 _ _ 2
will never occur in a 2048 game. Additionally, these are all impossible:
8 _ _ 8 8 _ _ _ 2 2 2 2
_ _ _ _ _ 8 _ _ 2 2 _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
8 _ _ _ ...
