  • \$\begingroup\$ "Unnecessary whitespace" is bad wording. Python's whitespace to end statements is unnecessary, because you can use semicolons. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 7, 2015 at 18:17

    \$\begingroup\$ Perhaps, we can start at 100 bytes again, but start with ppuppPq([#fwSmdP[ as the starting string, and restarting each time the string is longer than the allowed bytecount. I can't think of a winning criterion then, though. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 7, 2015 at 20:22

    \$\begingroup\$ @Scimonster You honestly think there is a 4-bit character set that includes all of #(PS[dfmpquw? We're running into the very limits of information density here. Unless you write a 10-byte program that processes all previous answers. Not sure if that's worth waiting for. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 7, 2015 at 21:30

    \$\begingroup\$ @sanchises We're not saying there is one. We're giving people a chance to see what they can do. If no one can, we'll restart it. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 7, 2015 at 21:35

    \$\begingroup\$ -1 Why didn't this challenge just die with dignity after the 15-byte solution? It seems disingenuous to change it after a good, "winning" answer has been given just so you can keep playing by different rules. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Apr 9, 2015 at 13:07
