Chris?
Is there a question here?
Is it logical?
I could say "8", but it's a trick question. I could say "87" - although I'm not sure if I should encode my answer.
...or I could say, there wasn't one.
Semantics can be fun too. "Which came first 'the chicken' or 'the egg'?". Ans: 'the chicken' as it came first in the sentence.
87 was the answer I expected. Eight would be technically more specific.
Anything other than 8 or 87 would be wrong. Great work- I had hoped the label would be a hint.
Was it?
Hi Ragknot. I knew you'd written using ASCII as soon as I saw it, especially with all those 32s - the label didn't help.
I think that the title of the other problem is meant to be a clue. I'm going back to considering that problem again.
Thanks for he diversion.
Hi Ragknot, I'm back for a short while. The penny has only just dropped. You can carry on any sequence with anything you like. Thanks for the lesson.
