Make the post a wiki.

Sit back and wait for people to edit.
For non-TL3 users:
- Convince a TL4+ (I think) user to make your post a wiki.
- Sit back and wait for people to edit.
Note: Since this is basically a guide, I’m leaving it as a wiki.

@element1010 Is MarriageError.endTheDepression supposed to delete the error, or is it supposed to delete the marriage?

Ok, now I see. Somebody clearly made my post a wiki.

That post is not a wiki, did you mean to ask for someone to make it one?
Nevermind, You were referring to the top post, although you linked to the last post.

And the worst part is when you made the automated one it failed so bad, so you spend another 5 weeks to fix it

Back in the day when I was still in school, I had a real head-scratcher of a math problem that had me stumped. But despite my initial confusion, I was still able to tell whether or not a given answer was correct. So, I put on my thinking cap and came up with a clever solution - I wrote a program in C that essentially went on a wild goose chase through every conceivable combination of calculations until it finally hit upon the right answer!
Bit hard way to solve some simple math problem by brute forcing all possible ways to do it with C program but definitely a lot more fun than just staring blankly at the problem and feeling frustrated.

Wow. You brute-forced a maths problem?

First, I made a C program that generated all possible math equations that could solve the problem and saved them to a text file. There were millions of different combinations, but fortunately, computers are fast and I about know what size equitation solves the problem so I could limit how many equations combinations to generate.
Then, I created another C program that read the generated equations from the text file, inserted numbers into each equation, and calculated if the answer was correct one by one. Finally, the program identified the correct equation from the millions generated that solved the math problem by testing each of them one by one. As computers are very fast it could right one pretty fast.
But propably it would have been lot easier just ask somebody else to explain the math problem.

You just could’ve entered that math problem in the console or something… Can you send the problem to me lol?

no, for that would any standard computer programming language ;-; most of them support console input

I think it’s more like he DID input the problem and the c program brute forced all of the variations instead of him mathematically producing the correct steps. It’s probably not as advanced as wolfram alpha which can solve random problems from scratch

Wow, this just reminded me of an experience in 7th grade (I’m in 8th now so I’m 13, saying that just in case); we had an optional escape room for no points in class and we had to find stuff. It was a Google Form and everyone in my group got stuck on this one textbox question. I wasn’t doing it and I sucked at everything coding-related and just started looking into HTML (I was still on Scratch I had like 97 followers it was insane) and I knew that view source code could do some weird things. I used control f and found the question and with some digging, the answer, and everyone thought I was a hacker (I thought so too). Don’t worry, it was for no points and I didn’t do that again but it’s also concerning how the teachers can’t do anything about this unless Google itself makes changes.
That still works today, I checked lol.

That’s cool! I never really knew you could do that.
Unfortunately for a lot of students (like me), there are these things called chromebooks and they are absolute һеӏӏ work differently. You can’t access the devtools if the administrator turned it off, and even if you could, when you fill out a google form, it can be put on “locked” mode where it goes fullscreen and you can’t copy, paste, go to another site, open devtools, or anything really.
It’s suuuper annoying, but I guess I can see why. Also cool bug! I didn’t know that you could just find the answers inside the source code

Chromebooks aren’t always bad. I just bought one and hacked it. I removed the write protect screw, installed new BIOS, and then installed a new OS. Now I have lots of freedom on it.
