You can mail your code to me & I will post it for you but there is a risk I might not be able to post it. My son uses my computer whenever I am not on it because mine is faster than his computer & last night it died after he installed something. I can't even use explorer on the damn thing & I will have to rebuilt but I should have it fixed by the weekend.
For what its worth, I think you should post your code using whatever criteria you choose. It is up to Jens to decide the final results & as Howard says its only fun.
I also had to decrease efficiency to save code size but that's part of the game - right. I am intrigued to see how you got to 400. I look at my code & I wonder where can I cut 300 characters even if I knowingly decrease accuracy. I can’t see how to do it. So I would like to see the script even if it misses some combos.
Anyway, I think this accuracy issue is deeper than some might think. I found 2 sites on the Internet that either generate solutions or solve them & both seem to occasionally give incorrect answers. For one, I reviewed the source code & it uses the same basic methodology that I do but it gives different answers from me. I attribute it to the fact that floating-point calculations are ever so slightly differently in both codes. With infinite repeating decimal patterns lengthening the word size will never completely eliminate the issue.
The last I remember Richard was at 400.
I am at 700 but if I remove some () cases I might be able to get to Howard’s number.
