i wonder if there might be a typo in the solution for Test Case 11. I got the following: y=15503197751395220 while my solution was accurate for the other test cases. perhaps there was some rounding that's done around floating points in mine because I wasn't particular there and just used uint64() at the end

does any of this regexp trickery translate to practical application? i understanding the importance of hacking but that's not really the point for applying regexp (you're not trying to improve your hacking skills via the Cody platform) So I must go back to your first point about being the #1 ranked player, why is being ranked #1 on Cody so important to you? in my mind, the most "efficient" solution is meant to offer those who wrote alternative algorithms an opportunity to learn something new, so that's why there's a desire to float the solution with the minimum size as for having the highest Cody score, that doesn't necessarily require having the smallest solution for each problem. having the smallest solution earns a badge but not extra points every time (I may be wrong?), so the goal of having the highest Cody score actually has nothing to do with also earning the smallest solution for each puzzle. conclusion - if you want to game Cody to earn points for a leaderboard that translates to nothing, have at it. it's your freedom of expression. but doesn't it seem a little selfish to also want your name at the top of every problem and prevent learning opportunities for others? that's why people gripe about regexp, it's not because they care about leaderboards, it's because they want to learn and the regexp tricker doesn't offer any learning for algorithm writing. it's just a cheat to see your name on the internet more.
