J answer

I do like the kind of exploratory feel given to the J example - I am new to it too and was using Python in a similar fashion :-)

Would just ask that the count of relateds (as opposed to relateds + true Lychrel candidates) be given.

Thanks for the update/fix. --Paddy3118 (talk) 22:19, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

I have added that. But note that the task description currently asks for us to "Find the number of Lychrel and related numbers for a starting n in the ...". And there might be two different ways to parse this sentence:

"Find the number of (Lychrel and related numbers) ...", or

"Find the number of Lychrel numbers and find the number of related numbers ...".

I understood the sentence to mean the former, but it sounds like you had intended the latter? --Rdm (talk) 22:21, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Rdm. I have made an update to the task description. Shout if it is still confusing. --Paddy3118 (talk) 06:34, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

It actually is still slightly odd. The first step asks us to find the number of true lychrel numbers, and the second step asks us to print both the number of true lychrel numbers and the numbers themselves. Why not just ask to find the numbers themselves and then print the numbers (and how many of them)? --Rdm (talk) 12:31, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
