Maybe a solution _functionally_ relying on a minimum of 10 built in variables and 20 funny symbols might be more fun. Hey, where is that solution using every ASCII symbol from 32-255.

Re: More Wacky Solutions
To quote myself: To these, I would like to add Ampersands of Time: -p !($|--~ya~ye~yi~yo~yu~yyyc)ycd Of course, this is better written as: -p !($|-- ya ye yi yo yu yy yc)ycd so that it resembles Journey Beyond the Stars. Apologies for the blunder. /-\ndrew
