| Oct 17, 2014 at 21:22 | comment | added | Calvin's Hobbies | @WOUNDEDStevenJones No. Assume pressing either shift does nothing. The computer just thinks shift is being pressed randomly. | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 21:15 | comment | added | WOUNDEDStevenJones | I'm assuming you're not allowed or able to hold down the other shift key to force everything shifted? Or would doing so give you a 75% chance of being shifted and 25% of unshifted if both of your shift keys act identical? | |

| Oct 17, 2014 at 9:23 | comment | added | Optimizer | @user23013 There are other answers based on the previous string too. | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 8:14 | comment | added | jimmy23013 | @Optimizer I have removed the 2^-7 one in the answer. So there isn't much trouble now. | |

| Oct 17, 2014 at 7:05 | comment | added | Justin | @Calvin'sHobbies Too bad there's the 1024 char limit. I'm going to need to rethink my answer... | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 7:05 | comment | added | Optimizer | @Calvin'sHobbies It's not! And the 1024 limitation prevents that very well too. given all this, I am voting for this to close as unclear what you are asking. Please do not change spec which gives disadvantage to most of the answers | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 7:03 | comment | added | Calvin's Hobbies | @Optimizer Sorry but it would be unfair to the original answers to force the change. All new answers must use the new string through, and it may be possible to beat the best old answer. | |

| Oct 17, 2014 at 6:52 | comment | added | Optimizer | @Calvin'sHobbies Now the score becomes a non standard as the previous string will always result in a lower score. Can you either switch back to older string or mandate the use of new one ? | |

| Oct 17, 2014 at 6:16 | comment | added | Calvin's Hobbies | I have changed the phrase. Existing answers can stay, though not a ton may need to change in them. Apologies for rule change. (@Nathaniel) | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 6:15 | comment | added | John Dvorak | @xnor the problem with your suggestion is that each pair quotes is a 2^-1 to your score and so are the commas inbetween. Unless you do something like .words | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 6:13 | comment | added | John Dvorak | @Calvin'sHobbies but... what about the current answers? | |

| Oct 17, 2014 at 6:06 | comment | added | Calvin's Hobbies | @Nathaniel I was just wishing that too,. It's only been an hour, I may change it. | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 6:04 | comment | added | N. Virgo | +1, it's a great challenge, but I wish you'd given us a longer output string. I've thought of several clever tricks, but all of them take more than 18 characters in all the languages I know. | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 6:00 | comment | added | xnor | @JanDvorak Without the restriction, you could do something like exec(min(["code","code","code",...])), with a ginormous number of copies of your code to run a lower-cased version of it basically guaranteed. | |

| Oct 17, 2014 at 5:32 | comment | added | John Dvorak | I can't think of any way to improve the baseline score of 2^-(18 + whatever the language needs) | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 5:24 | comment | added | Calvin's Hobbies | @JanDvorak Without a limit there might be ways to make the limit of valid programs approach 100% as the size of the program increases. (Though that would be pretty cool.) | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 5:20 | comment | added | John Dvorak | Why's the 1024-character restriction? | |
