Post edited: Change output requirements to require use of the 50 strings |

| Comment | Post #291002 |
Another possible challenge:
Given a string of Roman numerals, output either "valid" or a string from the list of 50 that proves it invalid. This may involve the Kolmogorov complexity challenge as a subchallenge. Is this good or bad? (more) |

As written, the challenge is simply to validate a string of Roman numerals. I suspect that in most languages the golfiest way will be regex, and the list of 50 substrings will not be used. As such, they are irrelevant background info about Roman numerals, rather than being part of the challenge. I'm ... (more) |

I find this much more clear. Potential improvements:
- The explanation section at the end could be broken up with subheadings or a numbered list.
- The heading "Explanation" might be better changed to something that makes immediately clear that this section is optional. Perhaps "Background" or "R... (more) |

For this reason, my personal preference would be to have the simple statement of the problem at the start of the challe... (more) |
