Unscramble the Source Code [robber thread for cracking attempts]

Question

This is the companion thread to the main Unscramble the Source Code challenge. If you think you have managed to unscramble one of the cop answers, you should post your solution as the answer to this thread.

As a reminder, you have one attempt at cracking each submission. Your cracking attempt will be an unscrambled version of the source code. If your guess matches the description (same characters, output, and of course language), and you are the first correct guess, then you win a point. It is important to note that your program does not have to exactly match the original, simply use the same characters and have the same functionality. This means there could be more than one correct answer.

The robber with the most points (successful cracks) wins.

Answer 1

Python, size 48, by kgull

print('h'+hex(ord('\r')*pow(ord('#')//2,2))[2:])

Answer 2

PHP, size 22, by kenorb

echo(1.*0+(int)(7.1));

Or something like that... it's not really unique.

Answer 3

Python 2, size 38, by FryAmTheEggMan

print(`[].__iter__`[::2].split()[-~1])

Taking letters from object at.

Answer 4

C - 43, by Allbeert

This solution really ,sux, but it does actually work if you ignore the grumbling from gcc:

main(){printf(&__DATE__[10],1+1+1+',sux');}

(It will stop working in a few weeks, however...)

Answer 5

PHP, size 23, by bwoebi

echo@$c=b,$b.$$c=$c.$c;

I'm confused by why echo@$$c=b,$$c.$$cc.=b; doesn't work, while calling echo@$$c=b,${""}.$$cc.=b; directly does.

Answer 6

Ruby - 58, by Rodolvertice

There are probably lots of solutions to this one.

puts 0x7d556657^0x3ffd88f9^0x1221442e^0xdd48ad1^0x08c58a00

Answer 7

Perl, size 39, by GentlePurpleRain

$_=(~0);s/(\d\d)/ge_$2/;print$_=chr$1*4

With help from chilemagic.

Answer 8

JavaScript, length 32, by hsl

Interesting use of the map() function there:

[atob('cHVHaVht')].map(alert)//+

Answer 9

JavaScript, size 47, by palerdot

alert("a surprise!")//if("est")(it will tell  )

This was super easy though. There can be so many solutions to this too.

Answer 10

PHP, size 44, by kenorb

$_=get_class_methods(@new phar);die($_[70]);

IMO, that one was pretty obvious (took me 10 minutes after first look).

I did a quick google search and observed that there were a lot of class having valid() as method... An coincidentally get_Class_methods() was in the string. After extracting that one, no issues anymore.

Answer 11

CJam, size 19, by Martin Büttner

"hunt !tacos" 'hiCt

This one seemed easy...

Answer 12

PHP, 21, by kenorb

This one is easy if you know that one of the new features in PHP 5.6 (the version of PHP the code was tested in) is a ** operator for exponentiation:

<?=27**5;///***134689

Or alternatively:

<?=3**15;///***246789

Answer 13

If I'm understanding this correctly, all I have to do is put the number in the out box and then halt? OK...

Answer 16

Haskell, size 42, by proud haskeller

{data S=S{}deriving Show;main=print S;S=S}

Some clever things were done here: the empty record in the definition of S to reduce the number of spaces (this confused me a long time!), and it looked awful hard to use that extra equals sign from the extraneous S=S equation.

Answer 17

Lua, size 28, by ChipperNickel

a=math print(a.asin(1)*a.pi)

Wow, this was actually really simple, why did I not try this earlier? Also, I learned that you can separate statements with nothing but a space in Lua.

Answer 18

Mathematica, size 18, by Arcinde

D[2#&@d!!,d]/.d->0

That was quite interesting. :)

Answer 19

Ruby, 49, by Doorknob

$><<"'"+'
""'


%''
%''
%"'<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>% ?;"

I think I found a tiny shortcut?

Answer 20

Python (2), size 41, muddyfish

print(sum(map(ord,repr(exit.__repr__)))) 

I observed the result 6831 from this code for both Pythons 2 and 3 on my local machine. However, I managed to reproduce the output 6314 with (http://ideone.com/700qVt). Ideone's Python 3 didn't even recognize the exit function.

Answer 21

C, size 53, by FireFly

s(x){return x?x*s(~-x):!x;}main(){printf("%x",s(9));}

Nice factorial program :)

Answer 22

Arithmetic, size 31, by Cris

(((((2*2+1)*2+1))*(1+(1+2)*2)))

This may not have been the intended solution because of the unused parentheses, or maybe they were red herring.

Answer 23

Cris, ECMAScript, 66

eval(atob("J2slzzuuuspmlkihgccbbbaZZYYWSSKKKED995555222S2AnCjsx"))

eval(atob("DScg12224599ACDDMMNNNOQQTTYZZbcgjklmpssuuuwwyzzzOScKMSY1"))

Answer 24

Python 2, muddyfish, 37

print(memoryview(str(Ellipsis)).ndim)

I'm glad I made that Python builtins anagrammer.

Answer 25

Java, 108, durron597

class o{{ }public static void main(String...r){System.out.printf("%.6f",('a'*'+'/'\t'-'l')/('m'+'\n'-6.));}}

This was my second pi-printing program today. Given the low precision of this one, the second-most famous rational approximation, namely 355/113, was sufficient to produce the correct digits. It seemed like this fraction should be obtainable with some math on character literals. After some trial and error I finally found an expression ('a'*'+'/'\t'-'l')/('m'+'\n'-6.) which used all the characters it needed to. One convenient thing was that I had the choice between printf or format which both behave identically here.

Answer 26

QBasic, 37 bytes, by DLosc

PRINT 1E7 AND 11053811

R=LEN("*?RY")

I immediately noticed that all the letters of AND were present in the code. (In QBasic, the Boolean operators are bitwise, and true is -1.) Then I wrote a script to find possible combinations of operands by brute force, ignoring zeros to allow for E notation. Once I found a usable combination in the list, all that was left was to deal with the remaining characters.

A single space is printed before the number (where the minus sign would go for a negative number). The scrambled code also prints a space before the number it prints, and that is not described as part of its output, so I assume that that detail is insignificant or was mistakenly omitted.

Answer 27

Python, size 55, by FireFly

____acdfiimmnooprrt={2:.9,}
print(801**sum(range(5))+1)

The funny thing is, my initial solution only worked on Python 3 and it was only until FireFly pointed out that I should inline my 801**sum(range(5)) instead of assigning it to a variable that I got this working for both Python versions.

Answer 28

Java, Size 97, Olavi Mustanoja

class _{public static void main(String[]s){for(int b:"534g".getBytes())System.out.write(b^'m');}}

There are not too many possibilities with only 1 character ^ usable as operator and lack of p (for printing operation).

I wither the input down to 345_gsm and do some math to map it to the output.

Answer 29

Ruby, 23 by MegaTom

p %++.methods[80][1..-1]

Edit: So that's where the answer went. Converting back to an answer, hopefully. Thanks for specifying an interpreter, methods[80] is definitely version- and implementation- dependent. Using + for the percent-string delimiter is a nice touch.

I think I found this easier than I would've just because I'd been thinking of doing some similar tricks.

Answer 30

Ruby, size 17, by Stephen Touset

$><<$-W?$?:$:>-pi

Test it on ideone.

Most certainly not the original code. $-W is the value of the command-line argument -W (warning level) which defaults to 1. The rest is just to get rid of the other characters, so I'm putting some undefined variables and operators in the else branch of a ternary.
