Perl Weekly Challenge 382‘s tasks are “Hamiltonian Cycle” and “Replace Question Mark”.

So I did what I always do when I’m stumped for a creative choice: I asked my wife. “The Hamilton Polka“, she immediately responded.1 “It’s a five-minute…

Perl Backfill Challenge: Shift to low gear, a fifty dollar fine my friend!

I’m making another entry backfilling the challenges I missed while my mother was dying; I’m doing these in her honor. Perl Weekly Challenge 297‘s tasks were “Contiguous Array” and “Semi-Ordered Permutation”. I thought about what music I should pick, and “semi” jumped out at me.

Perl Weekly Challenge: You might think I'm crazy, but I don't even care

Perl Weekly Challenge 376‘s tasks are “Chessboard Squares” and “Doubled Words”.I already picked Chess the musical back in PWC 281, double for 290, and word for 255 and 360, but I haven’t given any musical love to squares, which is a shame, because it’s hip to be square… (or, wait, do I mean it’s hip to be A square?).
