I have a question about your flagging of the REXX solution for the '''hourglass puzzle'''. Is it your concern that words were used instead of Arabic numerals? The output was almost identical of the '''Python''' entry (as noted by the '''trans''' tag). Which computer programming entry would be better emulated? Would changing it to exactly match Python's output be OK? (Except for the misspelling error). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:04, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
:Python is using string interpolation there so an expression such as {t4//4} will be replaced by its actual value (4) when the string is printed. Does REXX have a similar facility? --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 20:15, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
