Are you implying that I'm a Dev-Genius?
No, don't answer that. Because I can stay in my little ignorance bubble where I'm a Dev-Genius that way.

Yes, I'm giving a double-reply because your explanation reminds me of this old story about a telgraph operator. It's long so I broke my reply up into two replies. But I think it is interesting??
Back when the telegraph was the fastest method of long-distance communication, a young man applied for a job as a Morse Code operator. Answering an ad in the newspaper, he went to the office address that was listed. When he arrived, he entered a large, busy office filled with noise and clatter, including the sound of the telegraph in the background. A sign on the receptionist's counter instructed job applicants to fill out a form and wait until they were summoned to enter the inner office.
The young man filled out his form and sat down with the seven other applicants in the waiting area. After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked up, wondering what was going on. They muttered among themselves that they hadn't heard any summons yet. They assumed that the young man who went into the office made a mistake and would be disqualified.
Within a few minutes, however, the employer escorted the young man out of the office and said to the other applicants, "Gentlemen, thank you very much for coming, but the job has just been filled."
The other applicants began grumbling to each other, and one spoke up saying, "Wait a minute, I don't understand. He was the last to come in, and we never even got a chance to be interviewed. Yet he got the job. That's not fair!"
The employer said, "I'm sorry, but all the time you've been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message in Morse Code: 'If you understand this message, then come right in. The job is yours.' None of you heard it or understood it. This young man did. The job is his."

Just had some rellies over from Oz, I dropped them at Heathrow yesterday morning at 6.30am and they flew to Korea at 13.00pm ( 11 hrs ) then had an eleven hour wait ( airside ) for the last leg to Brisbane ( nearly ten hours ) where they then face an eight hour drive to their home.
That would kill me. The power of youth.

35.5 hours is a pretty tough, though that 8 hour car drive would be nearly unbearable. I got back from Bangkok a week ago today from holiday. From my hotel to my home in the central U.S. it was 30 hours, but it wasn't too bad. With inflight movies and good food to Internet access keeps you occupied; so it wasn't too bad.

Fly Lufthansa. They have the best schedules I have ever seen. 60 to 90 minutes between flights connections. I have never seen anything like this.
it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features yet.

It's common going to Aussie land you either break the trip at Singapore or this way

There's only one dictionary word I could find that matches the pattern and is not related to the clue in any way. So I would say, good one!

You've got it then. I specifically went with this because I know there's only one word that fits the pattern (the symbols are irrelevant).
I thought you was joking when you said you had wrote a pattern-matching program.

i also did do that because of the FOSW
Rules for the FOSW ![ ^]
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}
|
|
|
|
|
I'm tempted to call it cheating!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I only use it when im totally desperate
Rules for the FOSW ![ ^]
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Hey, I honestly tried to find the solution from the pattern. But when I couldn't, I cheated. But if you look at the word, there's no way to get it from the pattern.

indeed, without any clue you could never ever get the solution
Rules for the FOSW ![ ^]
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Can one of you answer it then please?

Just because you said please: "Bookkeeper".

Well done to your program

Does that mean he has to write a program over the weekend to set the next one?
