==Purpose==
What's the theoretical or practical interest in this task? I'd be interested in a program that enumerated all the 4-tuples that have solutions or determined whether a given 4-tuple had a solution, but we've already got tasks for getting input from the user, parsing arithmetic expressions, and so on. —[[User:Underscore|Underscore]] 19:22, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Purpose
What's the theoretical or practical interest in this task? I'd be interested in a program that enumerated all the 4-tuples that have solutions or determined whether a given 4-tuple had a solution, but we've already got tasks for getting input from the user, parsing arithmetic expressions, and so on. —Underscore 19:22, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
- Umm,
- Playing the game.
- We have a gazillion sorts for example, (some are very impractical); so we can stand some repetition.
- We don't have many games, (of any description). Some site grazers might be attracted just by the word 'game'.
- The input checking is novel.
- The task is more than the some of its parts! (We have tasks covering most statement types, and it would not make sense to use that as a reason for not doing any composite task).
- Prelude to possibly another task to solve the game.
