Hostile task requirement?

When I try to post the result specified by this task, I get a message that the website is offline. Perhaps this is because that result is a 21010 character long line of text. But something similar happens when I try to post the result as a table with 53 lines of 253 characters. Perhaps the task should be changed to not require such a large result? --Rdm (talk) 17:10, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Just elide the result, like the other solutions do :) --Smls (talk) 18:55, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
