  • \$\begingroup\$ Could not find a better tag, and I had to provide at last two. Further, I do not have enough rep to create new tags. The reason for java is because it is supposingly a very portable language, so writing that would be very interesting. Further, the java versions are defined in a way that we can compare entries detecting the environment with uniformity, without ending to have to compare oranges to apples. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 1, 2012 at 21:55

  • \$\begingroup\$ @dmckee Dropped the [code-golf] tag. Add the [underhanded] tag. Could you please create the [java] tag? \$\endgroup\$ Commented Dec 1, 2012 at 23:04

    \$\begingroup\$ I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because underhanded challenges are no longer on-topic on this site. meta.codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/8326/20469 \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 19, 2016 at 2:22
  • \$\begingroup\$ @cat, you should instead have removed the tag, because it didn't fit the question. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Aug 16, 2017 at 7:16
