Luckily, it was accepted by both shinh's golf server, when I submitted it about a month ago, and the code golf server also (currently down). Shinh's server runs Python 2.7.2 on Linux, the code golf server Python 2.5 on Linux.

It would be interesting to see the actual hash value and Python version by running this version:

import sys
print sys.version_info
magic = chr(17)+chr(11)+chr(119)+chr(60)+chr(47)+chr(44)+chr(78)+chr(1
+03)+chr(125)+chr(48)
for r in ["M", "D", "C", "L", "X", "V", "I"]:
  h = hash(r + magic)
  n = h % 1001
  print r, n, "(" + str(h) + ")"

which produced for me on Windows just now:

sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=5, releaselevel='final', seri
+al=0)
M 1000 (2094745652)
D 500 (1641493353)
C 100 (277891714)
L 50 (1566900385)
X 10 (1666291637)
V 5 (-1570643069)
I 1 (1060402344)
[download]

Strange, that this is the same Python version 2.7.5 as reported by mr_mischief but on a different platform (Windows vs MacOS). I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit Python on Windows (multiple versions) and didn't see a failure.

On shinh's golf server it produced:

sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=2, releaselevel='final', seri
+al=0)\n
M 1000 (2094745652)
D 500 (1641493353)
C 100 (277891714)
L 50 (1566900385)
X 10 (1666291637)
V 5 (-1570643069)
I 1 (1060402344)
[download]

This is doubly strange because that is the same Python version 2.7.2 running on the same platform, Linux, which failed for RMGir!

I will check the Python C sources version history later when I get more time.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
