Rube Goldberg Code

That's an interesting one. The only reason I could think of that they would do it that way, would be if the top one didn't include the lower limit, and the bottom one didn't include the top limit. Thus spitting out false if 5 went in.

not quite... have another look.  

hint:  black diamonds

Ah yes, so the diamonds do actually work the same as circles when done by hand.

I was suspecting that but was too lazy to check if that's how they actually worked.

I wasn't even going to post this, because it was fairly similar to my other post and not too many extra steps...but the completely unnecessary transpose array, on top of the convoluted indexing to reference a single element was too good to pass up. K, a rube goldberg break for me after this post 🙂

ok so one for my count

In the sharing spirit this one is on me. It is some code only used by me. The project started as small doghouse but has now grown very large. But it still uses the foundation wall from the doghouse. The maintenance has been typical "get the damn thing working". And also look at the arrangement with the control labeled text, it is a classic. I must painfully admit I added this last week. I had to do it because I needed to edit the content before I used cut and paste into some other program.

Well enjoy Also this is only a part of the full program

Ouch, a vestigal local variable. 🙂

I also like the backwards wire from the sequence locals and how e.g. the title string indicator is nicely wired right-to-left to maintain appearances. 😄

I did not think I would ever see a 15-Dimensional boolean array is real code, but here it is!!!!

(well, most dimensions are of zero lenght, but that's not really the point :))

It is fascinating. It turns out to be what I thought when I first saw it. The user wanted a 2D array with 15 lines and just added dimensions without knowing how to just drag down the lower border on teh 2D array. It's not really Rube-Goldberg-ish though. Especially since the user fixed it.

There's a joke about superstrings and the like hiding in there somewhere. 😉

P.S. It's nice to see the multi-D code at least works.
