I've updated to show a `.` instead of a space for the background. It makes the boundary of the rectangle much clearer - thanks. I'm now half considering using a character that is more central so it aligns better with the `#` but I haven't settled on one yet. (more) |

Apart from the choice of outputs it's identical, but the same applies to Kolmogorov complexity challenges in general. That's not to say this new challenge is worth posting, but I wanted to get some feedback to see how different a challenge would need to be to be well received.

Thanks for the feedback - it's useful whether in the sandbox or here. I understand the sandbox can't catch everything.
I share your concerns, and thought carefully about how to choose the numbers to avoid a simple built-in solution or a brute force testing of all permutations. I estimated that the... (more) |
