Challenge

Your task is to write 2 different programs (full programs/functions/etc.) in the same language and the same version (e.g. Python 3.5 ≠ Python 3.4, so that is not allowed), and when given n (using STDIN/function arguments/etc.), compute a(n) where a is an OEIS sequence of your choice. One of those programs is shorter than the other. You only need to submit the longer program of the two. The other one needs to be saved in case of not being cracked after 7 days. Your submission is cracked when your program has been outgolfed (whether it is by 1 byte or more).

For example, if the task you chose was to perform 2 × n, this could be a valid submission (in Python 2):

Python 2, 16 bytes, score = 15 / 16 = 0.9375

print(2*input())


Computes A005843, (offset = 0).

If your submission has been cracked, then you need to state that in your header like so:

Python 2, 16 bytes, score = 15 / 16 = 0.9375, [cracked] + link

print(2*input())


Computes A005843, (offset = 0).

Offset

This can be found on every OEIS page. For example, for A005843, the offset is 0,2. We only need to use the first one, which is 0. This means that the function is defined for all numbers ≥ 0.

In other words, the function OEIS(n) starts with n = 0. Your program needs to work for all cases given by OEIS.

Scoring

The score you get for your submission is equal to the following formula:

Score = Length (in bytes) of secret code ÷ Length (in bytes) of public code

The example above has the score 15 ÷ 16 = 0.9375.

The submission with the lowest score wins. Only submissions that have posted their solution will be eligible for winning.

Rules

• The task you need to do is an OEIS sequence of your choice.
• Given n, output OEIS(n). Deviation is not allowed, so you need to produce the exact same sequence (when given n, you need to output OEIS(n)).
• Submissions that are not cracked within a period of 7 days are considered safe after the solution has been posted (submissions older than 7 days that do not have their solution posted are still vulnerable in being cracked).
• In your submission, you need to post the following things: language name, byte count, full code, so no pastebin links etc. (to prevent answers like Unary), OEIS sequence, score with lengths of both programs and additionally, the encoding that is used.
• Note: the same sequence cannot be posted twice in the same language. (For example, if the sequence A005843 has been done in Pyth, you cannot use Pyth again for that same sequence.)
• Input and output are both in decimal (base 10)

Note

This challenge is finished. The final winner is feersum with his Seed answer. Congratulations! :).

You can still submit new cops, but be aware that they are no longer competing.

• @Andan That seems unfortunate. Say I write a golf with multiple clever tricks that improve on the obvious formula. If I post the obvious formula, anyone can find one improvement and win. Or, I have to tip my hand and give away all the improvements but one. Would you consider changing this, if it's not too late? Sorry for not thinking of this in this sandbox, I only noticed when trying the challenge in earnest. – xnor Aug 6 '16 at 11:07
• @xnor Hmm, that would cause a big problem with the scoring mechanism. You can then make an arbitirarily large submission and an almost impossible short one, and win the challenge. – Adnan Aug 6 '16 at 11:12
• @Adnan You could solve that by defining score = len(secret code)/min {len(public code), len(shortest code posted by robbers)}. – Anders Kaseorg Aug 6 '16 at 12:22
• @Adnan The context is xnor’s suggestion to make the score count if the robbers beat your public score but do not match your secret score. I’m proposing a way to make that work while avoiding the problem you’re concerned about. – Anders Kaseorg Aug 6 '16 at 12:43
• Yeah, finally another Cooooops and Rooooobbbbbers challenge. – insertusernamehere Aug 6 '16 at 20:41

Seed, 5861 bytes, score = 5012 / 5861 = 0.85

The sequence is primes (A000040) with offset 1. a(1) = 2, a(2) = 3, a(3) = 5 etc.

R²SÆ½


Computes A127721.

Try it online!

Here's the solution:

RÆḊḞ

• implicitly take input n
• R: list from [1, 2, ..., n]
• ÆḊ: In our case, this will actually return the square root of the sum of squares (which may be useful in future golfing)!
• Ḟ: floor the result.

The documentation for ÆḊ reads:

ÆḊ: Determinant, extended to non-square matrices.

The key is extended to non-square matrices. The "determinant" of a non-square matrix is usually undefined, but one reasonable definition is sqrt(det(A A^T)) (which for a square matrix reduces to |det(A)|). In our case, A A^T is a 1 x 1 matrix containing the sum of squares. The square root of the determinant of that gives us exactly what we need to shave off the last byte!

Colored: Try it online! Explanation: The memory layout I used looks a little like this:  | a | / \ b+a b / \ | input  The initialization (in black) sets a=0 and b=1. Then, the main loop: • goes from a to the input cell - '" • decrements the input - ( • adds b and a - {{=+ • moves it "out of the way" - "+{=* • sets a to b - '+ • moves a "out of the way" - '+}=* • moves b+a back to its original position - "=+ • sets b to b+a - "+ • moves a back to its original position - }+ Once the input cell reaches 0, the MP moves to a, prints, and exits. What I could have done to save more bytes is to use &, which just sets the current cell to either its left or right neighbor. I also could have had a bit better flow control, but it's okay as it stands. • Cracked. Thanks for getting me to write a Fibonacci program. Not sure why I haven't done that before. :) – Martin Ender Aug 7 '16 at 19:38 • Actually, what I'm using & for is to move the input around the a/b/a+b edges so that they swap their roles on the next iteration. That I way, I don't need to move a, b and a+b around at all. – Martin Ender Aug 7 '16 at 21:47 • @MartinEnder Sorry, I wrote that part before looking at what your program actually did.

The first program lays out all the numbers from n to 1 along the tape, then adds up all numbers until it comes across a 0-value cell. It does this by copying each cell into the two adjacent cells, decrementing the right copy, and repeating the process on it until it reaches 0. During this process, the tape looks like this (for n=5): 0 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 5 0 5 0 0 0 0 5 0 4 0 0 0 0 5 4 0 4 0 0 0 5 4 0 3 0 0 0 5 4 3 0 3 0 0 5 4 3 0 2 0 0 5 4 3 2 0 2  ... and so on. Then it moves left, summing the cells until it reaches a cell with 0. The second program only works with three cells of the tape. Until the first cell reaches 0, it does the following: • Move the value of the first cell to the second cell. • Decrement the second cell to 0, adding its own value to the first and third cells. • Decrement the first cell. After the first cell reaches 0, the third cell will contain n + (n-1) + (n-2) + ... + 2 + 1. • Does your 87 byte version work in another interpreter? The one on Tio! seems to require a trailing newline... – Dennis Aug 8 '16 at 20:57 • @Dennis: It does work on the Ruby interpreter without the newline. For whatever reason, the interpreter on TIO won't output from a : if it's on the bottom line, which is why I included the trailing newline in the link. Martin and I discussed this in another one of my MarioLANG answers. – Business Cat Aug 9 '16 at 2:03 • OK, just checking. I've added wrapper for Tio! that appends a newline to the source code. – Dennis Aug 9 '16 at 2:13 • cracked I think (not sure though) – Destructible Lemon Aug 9 '16 at 3:30 M, 18 bytes, score 0.3889 (7 / 18) [cracked] r0+c ‘Ḥc0r$×Ç:‘+\S

While you get cracking credit for any shorter code, I consider the real puzzle to be getting down to 10 bytes.
