OK, what have I done wrong in this task?

Hi guys. It has been some time since this, and other percolation tasks were added and they have collectively not seen much additions from the community.

I was wondering if the tasks were created in prime holiday time and so got lost, or if they were just uninteresting to the community? I did track down the page for tasks still in draft mode and found that there were quite a lot. I decided to add a reference to the draft tasks from the Category: Programming Tasks page in the hope of getting more people to scan the drafts. Maybe they should be reviewed and pruned (maybe some need shifting to a new category of abandoned tasks)?

Comments please. --Paddy3118 (talk) 05:26, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

Speaking for myself, I've been busy writing a paper on optimisation and so haven't had time to do much RCing (other than battering down spam). –Donal Fellows (talk) 08:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
As far as I'm concerned, I'm not too keen on writing this because it just looks a bit boring to implement, frankly. And Perl 6 is currently not very good with multi-dimensional arrays, so it would be quite a pain to write right now. --Grondilu (talk) 12:57, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

D Entry

The D entry is annotated with "It does not accomplish the given task." Could someone (like Paddy) explain better what's wrong in it? Is it perhaps because the probability goes in the other way (from 1 to 0)? If this is the problem then it's easy to change, but I thin it doesn't change the meaning of the task at all. -bearophile (talk) 21:07, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
