May I have one? - oneliner - granted
Back to Certificate Requests forum
Well, the yellow reminder thingy has started to somewhat distract me, so I guess the time has come. My name is Svyatoslav Rysakov and hereby I declare that I myself solved more than 125 problems fair and square. I humbly ask administration to review my solutions and to hide the yellow thingy (at least for me).
P.S. Are there any certificates for cunning solutions (one-line solutions for example)? Or maybe for solving even more problems?
Svyatoslav, thank you very much indeed, for coming out of the shadow of the secrecy! And for your devoted participation also. :)
If there would be no objections, I'm going to add the certificate to your page few hours later!
Dear colleagues, what are your thoughts? For me Svyatoslav's solutions look like the museum of brevity. And I was especially astonished seeing Size is 41 in the BCD-to-Hex challenge. (I could not see solutions for challenges myself without querying them from database so I am now much puzzled... Though I have some idea to try later. :D)

I'm open to suggestions - so if we can come up with some less or more clear criteria for such certificates - this would be great. Do you think it may sound like "solving 75 problems with single-line solutions not exceeding 80 characters"? Or there should be more general "prize for many beautyful solutions"... Well, ideas about relevant titles and designs are also appreciated :)
P.S. Probably yellow reminder can be removed by clicking on it - I vaguely remember I've tried to implement something like this...
UPD So here it is, please check the data are correct: link - should be also available from the profile. Thanks a lot for being with us!
It seems solving problem with just one line of code may be considered skillful in some languages (like python), yet messy in others (C++/Java). Languages like Asm4004 won't even allow such code (I've tried :D). So, making an automatic "beauty-checker" fair for all languages can be near impossible, while checking all the solutions manually would be a real pain.
I think challenges (like the forementioned BCD-to-Hex challenge, which was really fun) are the answer. What if there were more problems like that? In this case solving a certain number of such challenges could be the perfect criterion for granting a certificate.
P.S. Clicking actially worked, thanks!
P.P.S. It states in the About section that translating problems could help, but is a matter of a discussion. I'm pretty fluent in Russian, can I help?
