Guidelines for code-golf on SO We've all seen phone numbers that are put into words: 1-800-BUY-MORE, etc. What is the shortest amount of code you can write that will produce all the possible combinations of words for a 7 digit US phone number. Input will be a seven-digit integer (or string, if that is simpler), and assume that the input is properly formed. Output will be a list of seven-character strings that For instance, the number 428-5246 would produce GATJAGM GATJAGN GATJAGO GATJAHM GATJAHN GATJAGO GATJAIM GATJAIN GATJAIO and so on..... Winning criterion will be code from any language

The challenge The shortest code by character count to solve the input lights out board. The lights out board is a 2d square grid of varying size composed of two characters - . for a light that is off and * for a light that is on. To solve the board, all "lights" have to be turned off. Toggling a light (i.e. turning off when it is on, turning on when it is off) is made 5 lights at a time - the light selected

Recently, I used my favorite image editor to make a 1x1 black pixel (which can come in handy when you want to draw solid boxes in HTML cheaply). Even though I made it a monochrome PNG, it came out to be 120 bytes! I mean, that's kind of steep. 120 bytes. For one pixel . I then converted it to a GIF, which dropped the size down to 43 bytes. Much better, but still... Challenge The shortest image file or program that is or generates a 1x1 black pixel. A submission may be: An image file that represents a 1x1 black pixel. The format chosen must be able to represent larger images than 1x1, and

The Challenge The shortest code by character count to output Ulam's spiral with a spiral size given by user input. Ulam's spiral is one method to map prime numbers. The spiral starts from the number 1 being in the center (1 is not a prime) and generating a spiral around it, marking all prime numbers as the character ' * '. A non prime will be printed as a space ' '. alt text http://liranuna.com/junk/ulam.gif Test cases Input: 2 Output: * * * * Input: 3 Output: * * * * * ** * * Input: 5 Output: * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * Code count includes input/output (i.e full program).

This is inspired by/taken from this thread: http://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/603383 The Problem Assume the user gives you a numeric input ranging from 1 to 7. Input should be taken from the console, arguments are less desirable. When the input is 1, print the following: *********** ********* ******* ***** *** * Values greater than one should generate multiples of the pattern, ending with the one above, but stacked symmetrically. For example, 3 should print the following: *********** *********** *********** ********* ********* ********* ******* ******* ******* ***** ***** ***** *** *** *** *
