@JonathanAllan Although 8ṗ2 isn't what you want here. Basically 2+6ṗ is (2)[(+)(6)](ṗ)[2]...you see how badly it progresses, while ‘‘6ṗ is (‘)(‘){(6)(ṗ)}, which just seems optimal, and ‘‘ still adds adds 2 like +2 does, except +26ṗ will progress like [(+)(26)](ṗ)[v] where v doesn't have the correct value by itself, and only adding a space will fix it (+2 6ṗ progresses like [(+)(2)]{(6)(ṗ)}), but nobody is in the mood of adding an extra space if they can so something else. ;)

@EriktheOutgolfer Not exactly - it depends on the rest of the chain how it acts. (e.g. 2+6ẋ on it's own will yield [8,8] not [])

@JonathanAllan Yeah that's equivalent to 8ṗ.

@EriktheOutgolfer I think 2+6ṗ... will work just as well. Edit, hmm, nope.

So you used ‘‘ so that you won't have to insert a space in +2 6ṗ...huh?

@JonathanAllan I left the central part of the program unchanged: 6ẋX€_3.S

| Jun 13, 2017 at 4:25 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | @LeakyNun Oh wow, a lot to digest here! I did think there would be savings... | |

Note that changing 6ẋX€ to 6ṗX will save a byte, albeit making the program much slower (complexity changes from O(n) to O(6^n))

Oh wait just the ns, OK maybe it's salvageable. I thought you meant the sums :)

| Jun 13, 2017 at 3:21 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | Oh, I answered an old edit - that completely changes it, I cant use this method in many many ways. | |
| Jun 13, 2017 at 3:14 | comment | added | zoecarver | also, you are supposed to output all of the iterations - not just the last one. | |
| Jun 13, 2017 at 3:11 | comment | added | Jonathan Allan | Yeah it is normal to wait quite a while before accepting, even if ever doing so. Many people give it a week or two. | |
| Jun 13, 2017 at 3:10 | comment | added | zoecarver | Wow, that is very few bytes. Well done! I am holding off on accepting it until a few more people answer. | |
