Tsh, you people and your challenges to which I have no access yet.

Could someone tell me where is it located on the map?

[lvhao945]

should the code prints out 'Hello, Small World!' or 'Hello, Small Word!' ?
I still can not believe teebee can cut down the code to 55 that prints out 'Hello, Small World!'...

Here are some stats that may convince you:

Code: Select all

$ hackvm.py earth55.hvm
Hello, Small World!
--
length of code:               55
number of cycles:             338
number of calls:              18
operand stack depth:          4
maximum operand stack depth:  20
call stack depth:             1
maximum call stack depth:     9

Hint:):
The 2 "so far known" solutions differ only in one instruction .
(And solvers independently found both, so I don't think there is other or shorter one).

(You have to choose among "equal encoddings" the best suited one for the given permutation of answer letters).
