Talk:Perfect shuffle

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)

I did elide most of it, but why shouldn't this be a part of the task requirements? --Rdm (talk) 20:07, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

If everybody (hopefully) will be eliding the output (to something reasonable), why have the Rosetta Code task ask for 10,000 shuffles?   Why not just ask for twenty shuffles (up to a deck size of forty)?.   That would make outputs somewhat homogenized.   -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 20:15, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Ok, never mind. I managed to get the elided part out there also. --Rdm (talk) 20:16, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
