Do bots get any info about other bots' production prices?

If multiple bots accept an offer, who gets it? Do all bots see all offers, even ones that have already been accepted?

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Interesting. I thought JS was considerably worse than python! Yeah, could do that, then.

@taRadvylfsriksushilani Fair point. Performance is a non-negligible factor here, so it's likely that if I don't restrict it to a single language, python or similar may not be able to compete. Restricting it to a single language would alleviate that risk. Python would be my next choice - and I might have to loosen the time control for that.

Frequently; not always. But you've still got the problem of earlier entries effectively moving first. If you really want to do it this way, it doesn't make sense to have simultaneous movement (because it's not really simultaneous).

The issue is that the oldest submissions functionally move first, meaning that being the first bot posted is a significant advantage. What about edits? If a bot is changed, does it drop to the bottom? I agree that removing all bots which crash is the right call.

Is the fifth example correct? Shouldn't 11111111 (8 ones) be JJJJJJKKK? If not, how is 11111111 distinguished from 11111101? (This also applies to your other challenge).
