    while B00 != 10000:
        BOO += 1
        if BOO == B0O:
            B00 += B0O
            BO0, B0O = B0O, BO0+B0O

4 thumbs up for the BOOS. But on top of that, I racked my brains on how to do this without building a fibonacci list to start. I could not, but you did. I like it.

Thanks ! I thought it would be easy too... There was some heavy brain racking in the process :)

Haha, i did this in a really similar way :) Although I wanted to add really scary implications into the code, so I implemented it through a generator :) I wonder how many will figure out those scary implications :}

please explain how it works? BOOS?

Pouf on May 28, 2015, 12:37 p.m.
Lots of BOOS and a bit of python :) It takes the ghost current opacity and goes up to 10 000, substracting ones and adding fibonacci numbers, counting the steps along the way

Ou! Now i see! You used zeros and "O"s, not only "O"s. On first sight it looks like magic)

I found a similar solution, but couldn't think of a way to make it scary. This is clever!

Thanks ! In retrospect I should have assigned 1 and 0 to BOO variables too :D

oh, i have a headache after reading this code, but the solution is good. better than mine =(

It is close to the textbook implementation of fibonacci. Just replace variables and it will all come together :)

Great idea!

Very cool and creative code!

interesting，reverse thinking

Great! Pretty clear after renaming variables.

OMG! It's amazing!

funny

rybld2 on Jan. 22, 2023, 11:59 a.m.
it's a very good (and funny) solution but why use a while loop? A for can do the trick, if necessary with a break as a backup. Of course, this is only a formal remark.

Pouf on Jan. 22, 2023, 5:50 p.m.
Because while is scarier than for :p

wow. it's the very 'Boo'd solution. (^o^) i really like it!
