Re: Deadfish Riddle

accumulator = 0
command = 'iiisdddsddddddddddddddddsdddd'

for char in command:
    if char == 'i':    # Increment
        accumulator += 1
    elif char == 'd':    # Decrement
        accumulator -= 1
    elif char == 's':    # Square
        accumulator *= accumulator

print accumulator

The chef did a poor job regarding the code documentation.

Re: Deadfish Riddle

Alright chickadees, if you're feeling that smart I have a part two and perhaps some more fun challenges for maybe some fun tokens. Part two will be posted when I get home.

PROBLEM NUMBER TWO, FOR 10K CREDITS

Keith has a bunch of deadfish, specifically iiss. With 5 operations, he wants to get his fish down to five. How can he do that?

Hint: 5 operations and an 'o'

Re: Deadfish Riddle

1) no tokens, no hype

2)How about something other than programming and dead fish lmao

to curb your puzzle pangs, ok lemme find one....

The other challenge is still up for grabs for 10k credits, but so will this one:

PROBLEM 3: 10K CREDITS
Keith's friend gave him a message. Unfortunatly Keith's friend encrypts every message he gives Keith, help Keith decrypt the following message.
The Code:

Hint: The first letter was not changed.

Re: Deadfish Riddle

Nevermind I got ninja'd, didn't read properly.

Edit: Does the answer to problem 3 actually make sense/is in English?

Re: Deadfish Riddle

If only the hint contained an encryption key that riddle would be solved in 5 seconds haha.

Still very salty because I'm nearly there and then taking the next step disproves my previous steps and it is one giant clusterfuck.

EDIT: Done, I'm not getting any further.
