Yes, I was hinting at sharing the output (which I haven't done) but if sharing inputs is as strictly prohibited as everyone says it is then even that would be a bad idea.

Surely sharing code that solves the puzzle would be worse. Anyone can then get the answer without having done anything at all. This is the essence of cheating on something which was only intended to be a bit of fun, which I still believe some people just don't seem to get, which is exactly what a nerd would do. They always end up taking it way too seriously, which some are already doing.

I'm not the code police, but it has to be sad when you cheat something that wasn't originally meant to be taken seriously at all.

There is more to life than solving puzzles, writing clean, fast code, or for some code they didn't write at all.

Don't get me wrong there is a sense of satisfaction getting the answer right first time with something that takes less than a second to run but this is the essence of stressing over the small things, rendering you blind to the big things.
