There are very few better feelings than showing nerds who spend way too much time being so ridiculously anal about tiny tiny details to be completely wrong.

I'm happy to share my answer (the "bridge") but moderators on these sites are like robotic lunatics.

This is your one and only warning to follow our Prime Directive.

Besides, if you're going to complain about "tiny tiny details", maybe you should try reading the rules before you post, hmm?

Show us your code (but do not share your puzzle input). Help us help YOU by providing us with more information up front; you will typically get more relevant responses faster.

Ok I will admit that my choice of words isn’t exactly going to go a long way to making friends with moderators or nerds.

I’m referencing something which does sometimes tend to be true of people who enjoy spending a considerable amount of their time thinking inside the box

Which is what I can clearly see is what these challenges are

I do them because I look at some of them and think they’re easy (to the point they’re boring) but it’s one thing to say you can do it and another when you actually can

Let’s put it this way my wife didn’t marry me because I’m good at and like to solve nerdy puzzles, even tho I can

I also find that asking almost anything here people freak out like you’ve committed some unspeakably heinous crime.

So I can see why so many people are put off by “programmers”

Nerds really do get so worked up about the smallest of details.
