[ENDED] Code Golf Contest #1 (thanks for the many submissions!)

[JWinslow23]

It's easier for me to count it as two, as that's how my OS counts it. If anyone knows a way for a Windows 7 user to use the other option, be my guest.

[Juju]

Notepad++ supports UNIX line endings (Edit > Convert newlines > Convert to UNIX format (LF)).

[JWinslow23]

Thanks for the information. I'll switch.

EDIT: All code now counts newlines as one byte. Scores updated accordingly.

[TIfanx1999]

My first attempt at a TI-BASIC solution is sitting at a hefty 178 bytes. Annnnddd it's not working yet. I'm gonna have to play with it some more.

[JWinslow23]

willrandship got a sub-100 solution in Python! Congrats!

By now, I don't know whether or not code should be revealed.

[Juju]

I'd say not. Probably.

[Hayleia]

How is one supposed to send an entry by PM ? PMs don't support attachements do they ?
Or i should upload it somewhere and share the link by PM ?

[JWinslow23]

Depends on the language. If you can copy-paste the code in the message, be my guest. If not, maybe upload it somewhere like Runer did.

[Hayleia]

Ok, uploaded it on dropbox and sent you the link to my Basic entry

[JWinslow23]

I added it in.

I also added something of my own...let's see Runer112 try to golf this TI-BASIC entry...

If he asks, though, I'll show it in a spoiler.

[Runer112]

Why would I want to see it? If I want to beat it fairly, I shouldn't get to peek at it.

EDIT: Only about 5 minutes later, I've figured out how to get it down to 49 as well. Did you use my initial entry and see the same optimization? Or did you develop yours completely independently?

EDIT a while later: Down to 48!

[calc84maniac]

For TI-BASIC, does it matter if Done is displayed in one case and not the other? If not, then I have a 47-byte program. If so, then it's 48.

[JWinslow23]

For TI-BASIC, it does not matter.

[Deep Toaster]

Dammit, 71 bytes in TI-BASIC too

[JWinslow23]

Is that AFTER subtracting the mem management size by 9 and then by the name length? If so, you're beaten. If not, you're beaten.

calc84maniac, Runer, and myself have figured out a 46-byte solution (howevef, as calc84 was first, he is the one getting credit). I'll give you a hint  on how we did it: binomial probability and logarithms.
