Feb 27, 2019 at 15:56 comment added MisterGeeky @FryAmTheEggman I am yet to generalize to the maximum extent possible. Writing the question seems so much harder than actually answering it. Um, in 1.5, I mean to say replace the summation of tuples with any other operation to get near to target. I'd have liked to added more challenges along the lines of, you can sample more than two elements to get output, you can reuse but according to some limitation et cetera. These are not simple to pose, especially when this 1d/2d concept is supposed to analogize a higher dimensional thing.
Feb 26, 2019 at 15:31 comment added FryAmTheEggman I think I see what you mean by the first challenge now. Sorry about my language, I mean "golf" in the sense that the ultimate goal is code golf, that is, writing as short a program as possible. The first challenge appears fine in this regard now, but 1.5 will suffer from this the way you have it worded now. Since each competitor will want to minimise their code, they will implement as few operators as possible. You should certainly specify precisely which operators need to be supported.
Feb 26, 2019 at 9:50 comment added MisterGeeky @Adám Um, I'll remember to do that, but I meant english words. Operation is assumed as binary input function yielding one result value. Adjacent is the direct nearest neighbours, left and right elements incase of a 1D list or array. There will be 8 adjacent elements for an element is a matrix and 26 adjacent elements for an element in a datacube. A recommender is a function that you assume can give you a list of suggestions based on an input-query or item selection. Efficiency is same as the time to get solution. I'll be more than happy to clarify further doubts.
Feb 26, 2019 at 9:39 comment added MisterGeeky @FryAmTheEggman Yes, I aso think there are more eleqouent ways to pose the problem. I'm actually not sure what golf is. Is it heuristic shorthand? I'm slowly completing the challenge definitions. My aim is to also make them feel good to read, not just sound jibberish one can't relate with. So, your inputs would be most useful.

Feb 25, 2019 at 20:54 comment added FryAmTheEggman Hi, and thanks for using the sandbox! While this seems pretty clearly to be a work in progress, I don't think there is particularly much for readers to comment on at the moment. You might consider expanding the first idea into a more complete challenge first so you can receive more useful feedback. From the way the first challenge is worded, I think you may have some trouble with ensuring the error is sufficiently minimised if golf is the goal.
Feb 25, 2019 at 8:08 comment added Adám all known operations, adjacent, recommender, efficiency? I'm missing some definitions here.
