:::''' '101' is ''not'' a rep-string''' as '10' does not appear at least twice. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 09:27, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
:::: Yes it is. Repeat "10" twice, then truncate to the original length (which is three), that yields "101". There is nothing in the task description that says the repeat string has to ''appear'' (I mean, multiple times) in the result string, as in the case when the string is replicated, then truncated to the original length. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:10, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
::::: The task description is not just the first paragraph; if you continue reading, it says the repeating group can't be longer than half the length, from which one may pretty easily infer the intended interpretation of the initial description, seems to me. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] ([[User talk:TimToady|talk]])
