@ValueInk: Ah, crap. Oh well. I only really used it to get 0, which could be produced other ways. (Nice len workaround.)

You can construct arbitrary numbers by obtaining the string representations of any of those digits and then concatenating them: -275 == int(`()`[int():int()].join(['-', '2', '7', '5']))

The length of any string can be achieved with (your string).rfind(`()`[int():int()])

@user2357112 those are some really nice notes but - is disallowed...

oh, whoops, I forgot I'd already come up with a use for the j - join, which is a usable substitute for + for string concatenation.

@user2357112 I will tell you that my intended solution uses all of these characters, no red herrings. Perhaps not all of them are needed but I've tried to minimize the character set to the best of my abilities. However not all the functions you have mentioned are used in my solution, for example I don't use ord. Hope thats not too much of a hint, but I want to keep it fun.

We've got for and in, so we have list comprehensions and genexps. No next or iter, though. I wonder how many of these characters are red herrings. I haven't come up with a use for the j...

All right, we've got find, min, ord, int, repr backticks, argument separators, method calls... we can get a lot of numbers by putting together repr backticks, ord, &, and ~... we can add individual digits by slicing the right strings...

@ATaco Its the beginning of a lambda definition, add some arguments and a colon, r,rr: followed by the code will do the trick. The `\` is just a line continuation character.

| Jul 19, 2017 at 5:26 | comment | added | Wheat Wizard♦ | @ATaco Here's the message he said he would update it when he got the chance. | |
| Jul 19, 2017 at 5:24 | comment | added | ATaco | Rules explicitly state otherwise. "This code is not allowed to crash or exit." | |
| Jul 19, 2017 at 5:23 | comment | added | Wheat Wizard♦ | @ATaco I believe this was discussed in chat and it was decided that this was ok. | |
