==15 puzzle solver==
It is not obvious the code you've submitted always detects a shortest possible solution; would you please provide any proofs or references?--[[User:Chmykh|Chmykh]] ([[User talk:Chmykh|talk]]) 16:12, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
==regarding Execute Ramsey Mathprog==
In re [[Execute Ramsey Mathprog]]; what were you trying to achieve with that? What language were you writing in? –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 13:16, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
==Anti primes:F#==
Please leave the note until it is fixed.

==Please restore the original EKG sequence task description==
It is too late to I invalidate other examples and your changes are not universally better to understand. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 12:06, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
İt does not invalidate any other task, İt says the same thıng without relyıng on the internal state, whıch ıs undefıned, of an algorithm that ıs not specıfıed.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 12:41, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

== Inflammatory stuff ==
:Nigel, it's a great analysis, but technically adding an answer based on this is excluded from the task as I did not want people to just copy an analytical solution from somewhere (OEIS has one) and use that. What to do? Right now I've added a note to your example on the page to discourage others from going down the same route but left it in place. A workable compromise? --Paddy3118 (talk) 06:19, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
::Well Paddy3118 you certainly seem to like these silly notes, certainly you are not a mathematician or a lawyer, so this should be interesting. According to the task description I should calculate the starting value. By what stretch of the English language do any of the solutions calculate the starting value?
::Let us compare my solution with the Python solution. On numerous combinatronics problems I have stressed the importance of separating the verification of candidates from the selection of candidates. In spite of this and whatever the drivel "Parameterised the number of sailors using an inner loop including the last mornings case" means the Python solution does not do this, and for that alone is worth no more than 0 out of 100.
Line 72 ⟶ 89:
::Compromise? You must decide what calculate means. If it means calculate, then you should specify the equation you want to use to calculate the correct value in steps 1 and 3 which must simply be verified in steps 2 and 4. You should then stick a silly note on just about every solution. If it is acceptable to provide candidates to the verification procedure until a correct solution is found, then I see no reason to consider my solution less worthy than any other (actually I think it's better than any other) and you should remove your silly note from my solution.

==Sub-headings in task language examples==
Please reserve subheadings for alternate full example programs in tasks and use bold for sub-headings within tasks as is seen in many RC tasks. Thanks. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 12:50, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
