| Oct 25, 2016 at 17:18 | comment | added | Dada | @xnor indeed. I was worried (cf question 4 for the sandbox) that something like that could be possible, and it obviously is. So ask for all the possible permutations to be valid would be a better challenge? Or should I just drop that challenge? | |

Something like print"Hello World";123456789123456789 still produces a huge number of permutations.

@Sp3000 Thanks for your comment. I think that this sentence Note that only permutations that produce a code that differs from the previous ones should be considered (which I wrote right after the examples) will prevent Unary to win since it will have 0 valid permutations.

| Oct 24, 2016 at 23:07 | comment | added | Sp3000 | If I've read this challenge correctly, Unary is going to win with (astronomical number) divided by (astronomical number factorial). Of course, this could still be a good challenge in other languages regardless, but the scoring as is means that it's beneficial to pad the program as long as possible since the denominator grows factorially compared to the linear numerator - so yeah I think a different scoring method might be necessary (no good ideas off the top of my head though) | |
