| Apr 7, 2016 at 18:19 | comment | added | Charles | @Dennis: (1) This was never intended as an underhanded challenge. (2) The code is not supposed to be obfuscated in any way -- I don't intend (and haven't intended) to vote for obfuscated code. (3) The only place I ever mentioned any of this was in the recommendations to voters -- they are entirely optional. The purpose of that bullet point was to encourage creativity, not to troll. (If I wanted to be underhanded I would ask for code which ran quickly for most inputs and slowly for a tiny fraction -- clearly code which runs at glacial speed would be discovered immediately on execution.) | |

Needs more focus | |

| Apr 7, 2016 at 16:58 | comment | added | Charles | @Dennis: I didn't intend it as that (as as such left off the tag). The main focus is on finding creative ways to delay the result. | |
| Apr 7, 2016 at 16:56 | comment | added | Dennis | While this challenge doesn't bear the tag, it is arguably an underhanded contest, which are off-topic per community consensus. | |
| Apr 7, 2016 at 16:56 | comment | added | Charles | @DrGreenEggsandHamDJ: Oh, and thanks for the tag. | |
| Apr 7, 2016 at 16:55 | comment | added | Charles | @DrGreenEggsandHamDJ: The main focus is on inefficiency; making it looks reasonable is just an aesthetic bonus. | |
| Apr 7, 2016 at 16:55 | comment | added | DJMcMayhem | This could be a decent challenge, but it feels just a little bit too close to code-trolling. | |
