My challenge Solve Subset-Sum in polynomial time (...if P = NP) was closed as a duplicate of Golf the Subset-Sum Problem. But the aspect of my challenge makes it very different. The main difficulty of my challenge is to succinctly enumerate programs (see the pseudocode I wrote in the linked challenge).

I'm not sure exactly what to do about this, but precedent says I should just ask on meta.

It seems that the close voters saw the similarities between the two challenges, and interpreted your challenge as a duplicate without reading the finer details that distinguish it from the other challenge. Thankfully, one of our users has reopened the challenge.

I would like to remind close voters to read challenges carefully before voting to close, as an unwarranted closure can be very offputting to new users.
