| Sep 10, 2020 at 14:41 | comment | added | Giuseppe | @null I'm using the terminology that the SSA does, you can take it up with them and I'll change it when they do. | |
| Sep 10, 2020 at 14:37 | comment | added | Giuseppe | @GregMartin well, yes, encoding the whole table in the M/F values has been done, and I'm rather regretful of that permissivity, but I stand by my original rules. Do what you want, but it's rather against the spirit of the challenge to encode that much information. | |
| Sep 10, 2020 at 14:33 | comment | added | Giuseppe | @thedefault. that's perfectly fine. Would be interested in seeing another approach like we have here. | |
| Sep 10, 2020 at 8:28 | comment | added | Greg Martin | When you say "You can specify any two distinct values for M/F", what are the restrictions on "value"? Can a value be an ordered triple of numbers? Can it be a function? Can it be the lists that give the values of the mortality table? | |
| Sep 10, 2020 at 8:09 | comment | added | the default. |
Mathematica can do MortalityData[<|"Age" -> Quantity[60, "Years"], "Gender" -> "Male"|>, "RemainingLifeExpectancy"].

| Sep 10, 2020 at 7:17 | comment | added | qwr | I think you made the input format too flexible. Especially considering the solution that encoded the inputs as in base 1000 the tables for male and female. | |

| Sep 9, 2020 at 14:47 | comment | added | Tim Pederick | Misleading title. Why isn't the challenge predicting when I, personally, will die, and then scoring me by my accuracy? :-P | |

| Sep 9, 2020 at 14:14 | comment | added | Giuseppe | @OlivierDulac the output is the life expectancy rather than the probabilities. The two are often presented together in a life table, but I thought life expectancy was more interesting than probability. I guess this is why long-winded preambles are generally frowned upon. I cleaned it up a bit, is that clearer? | |

There seems to be a problem either in the first chapter or in the numbers: you say the table shows the probability that a person aged A years will die in the next year and I see that at age A=0 that probability is >70(%?), and goes to <1(%?) when reaching age A=113 ? ... this seems reversed. Did you mean "survive"? (and even then, it seems quite low for the low-to-middle ages...)

| Sep 8, 2020 at 17:54 | comment | added | Giuseppe | @Arnauld that challenge was my inspiration for swapping it from kolmogorov-complexity! Added the note about the score, definitely missed that :-) | |

| Sep 8, 2020 at 17:34 | comment | added | Arnauld | Vaguely related (in the spirit). Pro tip: include a mention that the lowest score wins in bold! :-p | |
| Sep 8, 2020 at 17:30 | comment | added | Razetime | I really like the approximation part of this question that throws kolmogorov complexity out the window. | |
| Sep 8, 2020 at 17:24 | comment | added | user | This challenge is depressing. Excuse me while I go write my will... | |
