BTW, where is BeerHunter? This would not only be a fun contest, but also a nice drinking game for him ;)!

[edit]
Wait, he posted to be at 112. Gamma is already at 101, so they can also be added to the ranking.


That's what's posted, not what I've received... I believe there have been "postings" under Corsix's 101 but again not received

If they are then I can think of better things to do than stare at my code some more...
Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
char*_="XxTIHRCXCxTIHRXRCxTIHXHRCxTIXIHRCxTXTIHRCxXxTIHRCX";
int main(int l){for(l+=7;l!=putchar(010);++l);if(*(++_))main
(*_!=88?(putchar(*_^073)|putchar(33))&1:0xffff2a8b);}

I just sent my 101-solution. Not sure whether it will compile with his compiler. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I counted 4 exploits. eep.

I did that! My solutions works! But thanks to - no name - (you know if your solution isn't working) I had to make a minor change, now I have 123 tokens.

So if there was I rule that saying: "only send in working solution" mine would be @ 117 tokens.

Baahh, that's no excuse :wink:

So is someone < 100 tokens?

Yes, I'm at 98. Compiles with g++, but not with Darryl's compiler..

Damn, forgot to erase some old code. Make that 83. Currently working with g++ (on Intel x86 platform).

Edit:
Note: it still doesn't work on Darryl's compiler, but I don't care about that too much now. Just going for ultra low tokencount :-)

Ok, Gamma, I just tried out your solution(the last one you sent me) in Dev-C and it compiles and works


I think for future contest I think I will make you guys add version info to your entries so I can keep up with the latest version

Are we allowed to make a solution that only works for the first one million numbers and that is several megabytes in size?

A) File I/O is not permitted
B) String literals can't go over 2,048 bytes in MSVC
C) It might go to two million
Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
char*_="XxTIHRCXCxTIHRXRCxTIHXHRCxTIXIHRCxTXTIHRCxXxTIHRCX";
int main(int l){for(l+=7;l!=putchar(010);++l);if(*(++_))main

Embedding cpu instruction code in strings is just redicoulous, anyone can compile and rip out the binary.... where's the fun in that?

No, I don't think that was Alvaro's idea - it was more along the lines of my contest 45 entry
Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
char*_="XxTIHRCXCxTIHRXRCxTIHXHRCxTIXIHRCxTXTIHRCxXxTIHRCX";
int main(int l){for(l+=7;l!=putchar(010);++l);if(*(++_))main
(*_!=88?(putchar(*_^073)|putchar(33))&1:0xffff2a8b);}

Any chance the entries for Contest 45 are still available for download somewhere? They don't seem to be on the link specified on this page anymore.
