| Question | — |
Filtering the sandbox for ease of feedback I see the Sandbox as a vital part of challenge design. When I visit the Sandbox I'd like to be able to show only proposals that are not finalized, so I can focus feedback where it is needed. In the absence of dedicated functionality, I can search for [sandbox posts without the "finalized" tag]. ... (more) |

I agree it's impractical to make exceptions for some characters, as they will differ between languages. Instead, the scoring mechanism could be used to allow arbitrary exceptions at a cost.
For example, the score could be 1 point for each unique character, with any non-unique characters scoring 0.... (more) |

Until I read as far as the notes section, I had assumed that each answer would have to deal with any sufficient subset of the possible inputs (rather than being written to handle one specific sufficient subset). That sounded like an interesting challenge but might have made input format tricky. The n... (more) |

"The input can be assumed to be correct and containing no duplicates". Does "correct" here mean anything more than "contains exacty 7 digits"? If not, this might be clearer as "The input can be assumed to be exactly 7 distinct digits" (so that the reader does not need to look around to confirm what "... (more) |
