I think it's not a spoiler, if so I'll try to change my post.

After I solve a problem I find funny to see other people approach to the same problem, maybe in the same language I used (it could be cool to have something like a filter). Anyway, someone posted something like this:

[censored]

or this:
[censored]

I don't understand. Are they codes? is that a programming language? is it the same programming language? it seems so but I don't understand it, it's pretty unreadable, what language is it? (I censored come part of the code, so that nobody can copy it... even if he can get the right problem of these solutions ). Anyway, does it really work? This kind of solutions seems too short for me, are they compressed? thank you

I think it's normal that you can't read a language you don't know. It's J; here's a Wikipedia article on it, and J for C Programmers is a very nice free book.

uhm...
I've try it O_O (anyway it is unreadable )

Thank you

Any language is difficult to learn if you don't know something like it. APL to J is reasonably easy, C to Java is easy, but C to J (or C to Lisp) is not.

To get some idea of what J can do, with explanations, I suggest you look at http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Essays/.

Well, you could delete the solution you copied... even if the problem number isn't mentioned.

I did

ps: they were not correct solutions anyway, there were some characters replaced by "-"
