KRASICKI - Foreword to the Fables |
Wersja polska | English version |
Your task is to print "Foreword to the Fables" - a poem by Ignacy Krasicki. But You have to shorten it as much a possible - the shorter the code is, the better.
No Input
Output
There was once a young man whose temperance never flagged;
There was an old man, too, who never scolded or nagged;
There was a rich man who shared his wealth with the needy;
There flourished an author, for renown never greedy;
There was a customs man who did not steal; a cobbler who shunned alcohol;
A soldier who did not boast; a rogue who did not brawl;
There was a politician who never thought of self;
There was a poet who never put lies on his shelf.
-No, you'll never convince me that that's the right label!
-Nevertheless, I will call all of that a fable.

I wrote a new shorter Python-solution. It runs without problems on my system under Python 2.4 and 2.6. But I get NZEC from the judge. The compressed string in the script seems to be changed. Though there are non-ASCII-characters in it this isn't a problem for Python. How could I transfer my code unchanged? Edit: Problem solved. Keyword: line-ending Last edit: 2010-05-20 17:47:52 |

Thank You! So BASH is useless because the standard command line tools are missing. |

I get WA for my BASH solution. Piotr, can you check why? |

Check Your programs on ideone - You'll be able to make small changes and watch if program works correctly. If so You can restore previous shortenings. ;-) |

Something is wrong with the Perl runtime environment. My code takes 0.15 sec at home, but here i get "time limit exceeded". |
