May 29, 2018 at 16:40 comment added hyperneutrino @PeterTaylor I personally think that finding the decomposition on its own is much more competitive than finding the digits and then doing that whole reversal procedure, but it is a very similar challenge and doesn't really add too much new to the existing challenge

May 28, 2018 at 19:06 comment added Peter Taylor @HyperNeutrino, isn't the decomposition just the digits? Actually, on trying it, it seems to be the digits (except the leading +1) reversed. That's possibly accumulating enough trivial modifications (skip the first digit, reverse, also output the sum) to add up to something non-trivial, but it's still borderline.
May 28, 2018 at 18:55 comment added Thomas Ayoub @Arnauld you're right about 12, and the fact that the ouptut code must give both score & decomposition. I'll make my next questions proof-read

May 28, 2018 at 17:48 comment added hyperneutrino @PeterTaylor I may be misinterpreting the challenge, but asking for the decomposition and asking for the digits seem like completely different tasks to me...
May 28, 2018 at 16:57 comment added Peter Taylor @HyperNeutrino, asking for the decomposition and its sum is a pretty minor variant on asking for the decomposition.

May 28, 2018 at 16:17 comment added Arnauld Suggested test cases: 121: [ -1, -1, -1, -1 ] --> -4, 122: [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 ] --> 5
May 28, 2018 at 16:10 comment added Arnauld @nimi I think that "given an integer input" overrides what's said in the quote from Math.SE.
May 28, 2018 at 16:06 comment added nimi Does our code have to include the "pick a random positive integer" part or can we take the number as input?

May 28, 2018 at 14:46 comment added hyperneutrino I personally don't think it's a dupe because the expected output isn't the bal-ternary representation so you still have to do a slightly different task. Very related though, I agree.
May 28, 2018 at 14:33 comment added Thomas Ayoub @MartinEnder it even sounds like a dup... I should enlarge my vocabulary in order to find them more easily. Thanks.
