i'm pretty sure my answer for 112 is correct, but apparently it's not. anybody see anything wrong with this? it works fine for the two examples (.5->538, .9->21780).
my $max = .99;
my $bouncy = 0;
for (my $n=1; ; $n++)
{
my ($inc, $dec) = (0, 0);
my @d = split //, $n;
for (my $i=0; $i<@d-1; $i++)
{
if ($d[$i] < $d[$i+1]) { $inc++ }
elsif ($d[$i] > $d[$i+1]) { $dec++ }
}
$bouncy++ if $inc and $dec;
next if $max > $bouncy/$n;
printf "n=%d: %%%f\n", $n, $bouncy/$n;
last;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).
