Aug 1, 2020 at 18:33 comment added user @madlaina The lower the score, the better. You could use 10000 characters, but your score would then be abysmal
Aug 1, 2020 at 9:55 comment added madlaina If the string X can contain any unicode character, can't I just add a ton of unused unicode characters at the end of the output and get a score of like 100000? How is the score even meaningful?

Jul 31, 2020 at 14:43 comment added user @AdHocGarfHunter Regarding this answer that attempts to crack this answer I wrote - I commented that it wasn't valid because it was in the REPL, and my challenge didn't say anything about that, but Ismael Miguel said that they think it's valid, also because I didn't say anything about repls. I feel that by omitting it from my answer I disallowed it, but I'd like to hear your opinion about it.

Jul 31, 2020 at 11:09 comment added user Is it legal to post an answer in a specific version of a not yet stable and poorly documented compiler? I’ve already posted an answer in Dotty 0.20, but no one’s been able to answer yet, and only one person has tried. The information needed to crack it can’t be found with a simple Google search, and I’ve linked the Dotty website, but is it too much to expect people to go through the entire site?

Jul 26, 2020 at 15:24 comment added Discrete lizard @mypronounismonicareinstate I would expect (and hope) it isn't allowed, but e.g. the tag kolmogorov-complexity does not mention it. I guess that in code golf, you could count the size of the input as part of the program and this doesn't lead to problems, but as there is no code-golf scoring here, using input is not penalized by the scoring. Is there some precedent for your interpretation? I've been able to find this, but that seems mostly about how to apply the tag to questions.
Jul 26, 2020 at 15:23 comment added Wheat Wizard @EthanChapman Program flags are considered different languages. I had not thought if this initially so I will update the question but I will say that in order for command line flags to be used they should be explicitly allowed, either a specific flag or flags in general (as per the language vagueness rules).
Jul 26, 2020 at 15:09 comment added the default. @Discretelizard I am not AdHocGarfHunter, but if your program does anything with the input (other than completely ignoring it), it is almost certainly invalid.

Jul 26, 2020 at 14:45 comment added Discrete lizard @AdHocGarfHunter To be clear, are robbers allowed to take any input that doesn't share any characters with X, and cops cannot require that it takes no input? So that e.g. rot13'ing the input into X can a be valid solution? Or do you mean that input can be taken but must be discarded/ignored in whatever way makes sense for the particular language?
Jul 26, 2020 at 14:10 comment added Ethan Chapman @Ad Hoc Garf Hunter Command-line arguments, such as -print in Mathematica, which redirects hanging values at the end of each line to output, but might create loopholes with things like CJam's ea. I'd have to check standard loopholes.

Jul 26, 2020 at 12:49 comment added Wheat Wizard @mypronounismonicareinstate You can use a REPL if one is available, however snippets on their own don't have sufficiently concrete rules for this challenge.
