1. Your entry must be a complete Ruby program.

2. The size of your program must be <= 4096 bytes in length. The number of non-space characters must be <= 2048. The total size of your compressed submission must be less than ten megabyte in size.

3. You can submit multiple entries, and your team may consist of any number of members.

4. The entirety of your entry must be submitted under MIT License.

5. Your entry must bring the judges a surprise, excitement, and/or laughter.

• MRI 2.2 is recommended.– Other implementations like JRuby are also allowed.

• You can use a gem library.– We expect such entries to be much more interesting.

– Abusing gem to get around the size limit is discouraged.

• The judges would prefer more stoic, more portable, and/or more funny entries.

• You are encouraged to examine the previous winners of TRICK and IOCCC.

• Do not include your identity in your program.– The judges will keep all entries anonymous during

judgment.

• A polyglot of Ruby and Markdown!

– Invalid code is skipped in various ways.

– Similar to the Silver award of the previous contest,

but this is more clever.

"Back to the future?"

• A message is encoded as a time sequence

1. Sorts the time sequence

2. Converts each time to an integer as UNIX time

3. Prints the integers as ASCII characters

• This program is a nice demonstration that

Ruby doesn’t suffer from “the Year 2038 problem.”

– BTW: We kind of knew the author was a committer

since it works only on ruby trunk.

• Problem: no room to write “eval”!

• Key idea to solve

– Abuse of symbol array literal

• Detailed solution

– This margin is too narrow to explain.

– Read Chapter 6 of mame’s book!

• shinh discovered the same technique

independently

『最も汎用的なソルバで賞』

• One liner

• SAT solver in 194 bytes!

Finds an assignment to satisfy a given Boolean formula*

• Implementation trick

– Converts a given formula to Regexp matching problem

s.t. the matching is possible iff the formula is satisfiable.

x and !y x=true, y=false

x and !x UNSATISFIABLE

input output

* must be in conjunctive normal form

• All-solution Sudoku solver

• A magic for mixing data and code

• Nicely demonstrates a use case of Fiber

– Elegant and hard to understand, at the same time!

• The author’s remarks:

• Amphisbaena（アンフィスバエナ）

– “A mythical serpent

with a head at each end” *

> geminum caput amphisbaenae, hoc est et a cauda,> tamquam parum esset uno ore fundi venenum.> aliis squamas esse, aliis picturas, omnibus exitiale virus.>> — GAIUS PLINIUS SECUNDUS, Naturalis Historia 8.85.1

* according to Oxford Dictionaries

• Cute string construction

• @shinh’s comment:

– “The code seems concise.”

• @yhara’s favorite piece of code

『最も読めない で賞』

• One liner with a lot of percents

%%%while eval '_=%%r%%(.)...¥1=%%=~[%%%%,,,,,%%%s ?=]*%%%%%%#"]*%%%%3x+1?%%'.% %%",%*p(_||=eval($**%%%))

• Collatz sequence calculator

– if n is even, n = n / 2

– if n is odd, n = 3n+1

• Example: starting with n = 3

Collatz conjecture: Any n will eventually boil down to 1.

• How is the program great?

– It uses no integer arithmetic, no branch.

ALU:

Arithmetic Logic Unit

算術論理演算装置

103 5 16 8 4 2 1

• Example: How to branch if N is even or not

– Note: This is more simplified than the original code.

– Integer arithmetic is even more complicated.

[ ", ", ", ]; …even… #"]; …odd…

• Piphilology（円周率覚え歌）

– A sentence to memorize the first digits of π

– A famous example

• The program does the same by using Ruby tokens

– Note: lexical tokens ≠ space-separated units

Yes I have a number

big , temp = Array 100000000 ** 0x04e2

3 1 4 1 5. 9 2 6

• Abuse “alias” of global variables

– to access the same value from token of different length

• “ ” is a storage!

– It returns the previous seed.

– It can be used as a latch.

– An assignment always requires

one-length token “=”.

alias $curTerm $initTerm

srand 1p srand 2 #=> 1p srand 3 #=> 2p srand 4 #=> 3

• 77 tokens are essential.

• 165 tokens are just no-op fillers.
