@muddyfish: xrange returns a generator, so multiplying it by a number won't work in py2.7. However, you can achieve the same result with one more character: print (sum(xrange(054321))*9876*87654)/01234 (note the moved paren). It also computes almost instantly on a weak machine I was testing on, whereas prior it threw MemoryError. You don't have to change it by any means (and for all we know it breaks the changed version) but if it still works fine it would help a bit.

Changing range to xrange breaks it on my computer - py2.7. (Thats the original, i didnt test it with the changed). It might not for py3 but i cant tell if the changed stuff will be the same in py3 because i dont have it

| Aug 11, 2015 at 18:13 | comment | added | Fatalize | IMO this answer seems kind of not interesting if this relies only on changing the numbers involved (we don't know if this is the case), because in that case you can probably do shorter and the only way it will ever get cracked is just by brute force, not cleverness. | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 16:53 | comment | added | Alex Van Liew | Oh man, I didn't notice that you could change, add, or remove two characters. I was working on this but ugh, I don't want to play with numbers like that. | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 16:49 | comment | added | Alex Van Liew | Oh, I didn't notice shortest uncracked. Sure. | |
| Aug 11, 2015 at 16:46 | comment | added | Sp3000 | @AlexVanLiew But the scoring is code-golf in a sense, shortest uncracked. Having said that though, there's an unnecessary space and pair of parens... or are they necessary? ;) | |

Since this isn't code golf, you could reduce the memory load by using xrange instead of range and I believe itertools has a generator-builder that repeats a sequence x number of times.

| Aug 11, 2015 at 11:49 | comment | added | Blue | Sorry, yes it is python 2, the most memory it uses on my computer is 1.61GB, is that really too much? | |

I've edited your post to reflect that this is a Python 2-specific submission, due to the missing parentheses for print and the multiplication of range by an integer. However, I seem to be getting MemoryErrors from the large list...
