:::::::: I'm not there yet as I want to hear more. I am beginning to think that the intent isn't being stated in a positive way. Restrictions are by definition negative. What was the original intent here? Really, it was to get people to think outside of their particular box. This problem can be solved very conventionally and that's boring and pedestrian. The point perhaps is in your language of choice how would you solve this creatively showing off some of your language capabilities? This also lets people have a little bit of fun with it. The restrictions could be more guidance/example in this case. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 19:56, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::::::::: If that is is the point, then rather than placing restrictions, just make that point in the task description, and let the implementer make the decision as to how this is best achieved. Maybe say "Demonstrate this creatively showing off some of your language capabilities." [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 07:46, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
:::::::::: Borrowed from this idea in the last revision. I think there is a good balance between rigid restrictions and anarchy :) --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 14:17, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Hoping to confirm that the AHK solution didn't break any rules
