::(2) Phix has 1-based indexes and it didn't bother me. Anyway, I added R[2] to "contractalot". --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 20:43, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
::The previous solution is part of the reason why I said "most". As for 1-indexing causing problems, it's mostly to do with how you constantly have to account for modular arithmetic wanting to make things that your language wants to be 1 in to 0. It can be worked around, but it's yet another difficulty in an already hard problem.--[[User:ReeceGoding|ReeceGoding]] ([[User talk:ReeceGoding|talk]]) 21:35, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
