:::''Very'' easy, with modern hardware and programming languages.
:::FWIW, this task does strike me as being a somewhat useful one. I used to have a similar <s>time waster</s> game when I was a teen where you got 4 numbers and a goal, the end. (Except for the variable goal, identical to this task.) -- [[User:Eriksiers|Eriksiers]] 02:23, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
::: Since there really is no body of multiple individuals to give any sort of official policy, any concept of "official" falls to whatever I say by fiat. Which sucks, because I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable on programming as many of RC's contributors are, regular or not. All I ''really'' know is that I have a good mental picture of the kinds of roles I want to the site to fill. Beyond that, I don't pretend to have expertise; Many of my early ideas and attempts at trying to come up with task descriptions were too specific, enforcing my own limited view of programming on the examples, so I've learned to stand back. I step in from time to time if I see discussion heading in a direction counter to where I'd like the site to go, but that's about it.
 
::: As for "redundant" tasks, it doesn't bother me. In fact, I can think of ways to take advantage of it, such as category tagging individual examples with techniques, features or principles they may illustrate, to offer another way to browse and search the site, and to be more illustrative of alternate approaches. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 17:12, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 
A game player was not too difficult so I created it as a separate (but linked), task. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 04:52, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
