Rainbow Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Re: Toughest Developer Puzzle Ever This is awesome... 6 Stuck! Javascript is not my strong point and syntax is not the same as php, so have no clue //Enter the characters in the "Solution" box (in order) to proceed. var primes = new Array(); var primecounter = -1; var primeFlag = true; function findPrimes(){ var i = 100; for (j=2;j<=i;j++) checkPrime(j); } function checkNonInteger(newvalue){ var regexp = /(^\d\d*$)/; if(regexp.exe(newvalue)) primeFlag = false; } function checkPrime(j){ primeFlag = true; for (k=0;k<=primecounter;k++){ if ((primes[k] != "")&&(primeFlag)){ if ((j/primes[k] != 1)&&(j/primes[k] != j)){ checkNoInteger(j/primes[k]); } } } if (primeFlag){ prime[primecounter+1] = j; primecounter++; } } findPrimes(); I found the errors... regexp.exe should be regexp.exec, checkNoInteger should be checkNoInteger, prime[primecounter+1] should be primes... I typed in the solutions did not work. Then posted CNS and it worked. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainbow Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Re: Toughest Developer Puzzle Ever It seems to follow an algebra question which is pretty easy. I got 22 and it worked -b = x - 1, c = x - 1 + x, d = x - 1 + x + x, 88 = 4x. Now have to finish a sudoku grid. So be right back. Update: I just realised I dont need to finish the sudoku grid as all the numbers are from 1-9 and through trial and error going from 1 it was 9 :lol: Ok now I am stuck, there is a Nintendo remote control and I have no clue what to do. :mrgreen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
