The Regex Game
Avi Bryant

This is a game for two programmers, although it's easy to imagine variations for more.
It can be played over email, twitter, or IM, but it's easy to imagine a custom web app for it, and I encourage someone to build one.

Each player starts by thinking of a regular expression. The players should decide beforehand on dialect and length restrictions (eg, has to be JavaScript-compatible and under 20 characters).
They don't reveal the Regex, but if playing over email etc, should send each other a difficult to brute force hash (eg bcrypt) of the Regex for later verification.

They do reveal two strings: one which the Regex will match, and one which it will not.

import Data.List(isInfixOf)

partitions n 1             = [[n]]
partitions n k | n > 0     = [m:ms | m <- [1..n `div` 2], ms <- partitions (n-m) (k-1)]
partitions n k | otherwise = []

weighings []     = [0]
weighings (w:ws) = [m + n | m <- weighings ws, n <- [-w, 0, w]]

So I've noticed a problem with meetup boards: Whenever I want to post to a board I can type in a message, but can't submit it.

Below the Message field there's a <ul> with a single <li> that says You will only be required to do this once. which is particularly unhelpful.

If I try to submit the form I get an error that says You entered a bad response. Please try again. I also noticed that there is a <div> below that with some reCaptcha widget that starts out with display: none; set on it. If I remove that there is a broken reCaptcha that I'm guessing is supposed to be what I'm only required to do once.

Right now the only way I can get around this is to turn off javascript and use the iFrame backup. (For reference, this only seems to work occasionally.)
