Difficulty Normal

I was born in 1985 and grew up as the son of a Baptist, church-planting missionary. As a result of living in the West Indies for so many years, I enjoy torrid weather with occasional hurricanes. I am a Baptist. I believe that there is one God, that He is completely perfect, and that he has intended the Bible (specifically the KJV for the English-speaking people) to be his very words to those capable of understanding it. If something appears to contradict the Bible, then I must both question what I know from the Bible (to see if I misunderstand it) and seriously scrutinize over what seems to be a contradiction. If the case cannot be resolved, then I trust God's Word and reject the apparent contradiction. Like God, I assume that the Bible is completely perfect. I am a human by design and a Christian by choice. My faith in God cannot waiver, and my mind is open to His truths and His works no matter how bizarre they may seem. Jehovah is my Father, and His banner over me is love. What you just read may be a description of my religious background and stance, but as a child of God, it is the most important self-description I can possibly give. It is a definition of my identity.

Forgetful Prisoner-vinc

Your use of a stop bit is rather clever. My first solution can only remember the last 47 moves, but yours can remember 2 more. More

First-cyurys

Your solution is very helpful for understanding the logic of the calculations use to solve the challenge. You have some documentation but come have benefited from a bit more for others to read. Please make sure you get rid of PEP8 violations next time; five are revealed here: http://pep8online.com/s More

I am impressed with your code! You solved the challenge with a def instead of a lambda. It is still very readable even though it is a quine -- well done! More

First-mozurin

Looks good and simple but has some slight room for improvement. A documentation string would be nice to describe the magic you are performing, and there should be white space around the xor operator. See the PEP8 online checker for details: http://pep8online.com/s/KBIjr8BQ More

cimarronm

Path backtracking-cimarronm

Nice use of bitwise operators in your code! It is impressive to find people who actually know how to use them. However, you probably could have documented your first function and run your code through a PEP8 checker: http://pep8online.com/s/ekqeniKk More

First - Common Words-AQiccl135

You can accomplish the same more simply using a few tools built into the language. # get words from each list first_list = first.split(',') second_list = second.split(',') # convert to sets of unique words first_set = set(first_list) second_set = set(second_list) # get w More

Congratulations on solving the challenge! Next time, try to add (some) more documentation to your code and make sure there are no PEP8 violations in your submission. You can easily check your code like this: http://pep8online.com/s/anGmJKv5 More

Morf13

First-Morf13

It is great that your solution works, but there are several issues that you should watch out for in the future. Your regular expression could have been written so that the code was not repeated, your code could be simplified and made more efficient, and you have numerous PEP8 violations. Please chec More

Greedy BFS-joseph.kim.sungha

It is nice to see people using classes when writing their programs, but there is room for improvement, and you could definitely have used at least one more class in your solution. Your publication would have also benefitted from some extra documentation as well. Please avoid PEP8 violations by using More

First-matsumoto-shingo-z02

Congratulations on solving such a difficult problem! Next time you publish your code though, you might consider adding some documentation to your functions and follow Python's style conventions. A total of 11 errors and 2 warnings were generated for your code: http://pep8online.com/s/WvRHQgQH More

First-LordFlashmeow

Your code is clear, but the documentation does not make sense. It looks like your comments were left there and not changes from how you found them. Please make sure your code is PEP8 compliant in the future: http://pep8online.com/s/rpwbIATF More

Nice job being so concise with your code! More

tabata271828

First-tabata271828

Your code is easy to read and implements a classic, recognizable search pattern. There are two things it lacks though: (1) documentation explaining what your functions do and (2) PEP8 compliance to eliminate errors. Please check your code next time before publishing your solution (you can go to http More

Koichi.+-_

First-Koichi.+-_

Your code is fairly good and appears to be almost perfect but has a few problems that make this unworthy of a +5 review. Your code does not have sufficient documentation, could be simplified to return sum((from_date + timedelta(days=day)).weekday() in {5, 6} for day in xrange((to_date - from_date).d More

ParadisiacMercy

First-ParadisiacMercy

Great job on solving such an interesting problem! Your solution is pretty good and amazed me to find not a single PEP8 violation in your code. The only improvement that comes to mind is that you could add a little documentation to your code if the future to explain it for both others and yourself if More

vinc

Dark Labyrinth-vinc

Nice job on keeping your code short and solving the challenge with so few lines! It was nice to see some documentation in your program, but it has several PEP8 violations that could have been corrected. Please see the following report for details: http://pep8online.com/s/XXvcXVnO More

ZoltanOnody

First-ZoltanOnody

Very nice job on your code! Your effort is almost perfect, the program could use some documentation, and there was one PEP8 warning. The report can be read here: http://pep8online.com/s/EWpk99VF More

HeNeArKr

No x-skew-ses-HeNeArKr 1

Short, simple, sweet, and deserving of a good vote! The code that you have is documented, and what you wrote appears to be PEP8 compliant. Congratulations on completing this CheckiO challenge as well as you did! More

Bibiche

First-Bibiche 1

Your code is impressive, and there is probably much that other could learn from it if the mission was still unsolved. However, there appears to be insufficient documentation, and there are many PEP8 violations that include the generation of a few warnings. Please see the following report for details More

aLaix

First-aLaix

Thanks to you, I learned about how 42 can be significant in other bases. As for your code, it lacks any documentation and has numerous PEP8 errors and warnings. Please see the following report for find out what sort of problems were found: http://pep8online.com/s/xgMHiG3O More
