You may also set c=m=2**len(bin(l)), since the characters don't matter as long as they are distinct, but you'll get some really gnarly outputs! (EDIT: oh, actually you want to stay in range(256) of course. But I guess there's no reason c=1 wouldn't be allowed, say.)

| Jun 19, 2018 at 15:51 | comment | added | Jonah | @TFeld Doorknob is correct, in 1 3 4 5 you must remove the entire 2nd pile. If you can make a pile of 2, you can't choose to split it up. The strategy won't work if you do. Note that there are still multiple correct visualizations, in that you can still select different sets of characters, spacing, etc. | |
| Jun 19, 2018 at 14:48 | comment | added | Doorknob | @TFeld I think so, because currently (after removing one stone from the second row) it tries to pair one stone in the second row with the top row and one with the last stone in the bottom row. It should take the entire second row as a group, because it has a power-of-two number of stones. | |

@Doorknob, Is that required? The rules say There will be multiple ways to achieve a valid visualization, and all are valid

Sorry, I managed to fool it again, this time with 14, 21, 35.

I don't think this works for 4, 9, 10.
