Gild to donate $5 to EFF fo each coder that solves our programming puzzle
- davidw 15y agoHow long does it take? I earn an hourly rate such that $5 is not a lot of my time - perhaps it'd be more efficient simply to send them $5.
- federicof 15y agoIt's a fairly easy puzzle, for an average programmer it should take at most half an hour. Give it a shot :)
- davidw 15y agoThat's valuing my time at $10 an hour. No grazie:-)
- federicof 15y agoSure in this case you better send them the 5$, nevertheless please share this with friends or colleagues that may want to give their contribution while having fun for half an hour. By the way, if you're an experienced programmer the solution is quite obvious, it should take less than 15 minutes. :)
- jc4p 15y agoClever idea to generate buzz while making an impact. Edit, took a shot at it: Is there something wrong with how you're running the scripts? My Python script seems to die saying: No such file or directory: '/opt/puzzles/*.in' But your example on how you're going to run it on the bottom says you will specify an actual file rather than a wildcard. Running it locally on my machine on all your tests results in this: $ python test.py d.in > d_me.out $ md5 d.out MD5 (d.out) = c6dc722a7020baacebd876d4377065ad $ md5 d_me.out MD5 (d_me.out) = c6dc722a7020baacebd876d4377065ad So I doubt it's a silent failure in my code.
- TwistedLogic 15y agoI solved the puzzle :) $5 to EFF for my solution
- federicof 15y agoThanks!
