The point is, in a contest, one wants to have an unambigous winner. When a question is not explicitly a contest, individual taste will suffice, but a contest should declare a winner, and it needs a metric to determine one. If the metric is subverted, the next contest will tighten the rules. Which, in this case, will have a useful outcome: a comprehensive list of everything that can make a J script non-deterministic. It's a goal unto itself. 'Sides, I'd be more impressed with someone who could make an arbitrary J sentence execute using a constant number of tokens (without resorting to ". : or !:) than a person who could generate a Sierpinski triangle in 5 characters less. -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
