The following problem is a common interview question, thus dull answers are discouraged. Go short or creative, best if both:

Create the following pattern

###########
##       ##
# #     # #
#  #   #  #
#   # #   #
#    #    #
#   # #   #
#  #   #  #
# #     # #
##       ##
###########

In case you cry "dupe", I see your point but this is a slight variation and I hope it differs enough to be greenlit.

    \$\begingroup\$ I think I've mentioned it before, it surprises me how often the people who vote for a question to be closed as a duplicate have already answered the question, maybe gained rep for their answer then deny anyone else the chance to compete with them. No personal attack on anyone intended. I have the utmost respect for everyone here. As I said it just surprises me that this is seen as "community friendly". \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Serves me right for coding a closed question. Used a sligthtly different indexing based approach for 86. Just pasting here for reference. ``[<-(matrix(" ",a<-11,a),c(n<-1:a,110+n,n*10+1,n*12-a,a*n-10,a*n),"#") \$\endgroup\$
