Added OP's inspiration

| May 25, 2020 at 7:25 | comment | added | Anon | @Hugh I got time to do it. Here's a run-through of my lazy code: pastebin.com/raw/mFtbpX0t You'll need to install a lot of packages to run this code I think (although I probably didn't end up using all the ones I installed). I can't remember what all of them were since they were in the console. It's not a lot of code as is, but I've not used R much, and a ridiculous amount of trial and error went into it. | |
| May 25, 2020 at 5:12 | comment | added | user46002 | @Anon no no, that's totally fine. I too have written some pretty botched-together crap in my lifetime. I just want to be able to play around with your scripts to see if I can discover anything cool. | |
| May 25, 2020 at 4:23 | comment | added | Anon | @Hugh I'll try to post it later. Maybe tomorrow; I probably won't have time when I get back from work this afternoon. I coded in a very slapdash fashion though, some in the console, some in scripts, so it might be hard to get too much useful out of it. | |
| May 25, 2020 at 3:12 | comment | added | user46002 | @Anon would you be willing to share your R code? I'd be interested in seeing that. :) | |
| May 25, 2020 at 1:41 | comment | added | Anon | @Stiv I definitely learned more about how R works than I expected to making this puzzle :) I'm glad it seems to have been fun to solve | |

Blew my own mind

| May 24, 2020 at 22:25 | comment | added | Stiv | @Anon I've just worked it out and it is a thing of beauty! Writing up now - I see now why it took you so long! Oh, this is exciting... | |
| May 24, 2020 at 21:53 | comment | added | Anon | @Stiv This one is relatively simple though | |
| May 24, 2020 at 21:40 | comment | added | Anon | @Stiv There is more. So far all you have is a guess... ;) In counting the total number of times each player passes the ball, what might you have overlooked? Your grid idea is on the right track... | |
| May 24, 2020 at 16:23 | comment | added | Stiv | @Anon Is there anything more to find within this puzzle? I noticed that certain sequences repeat over and over for a while and I also spent a chunk of time rearranging the numbers from the CSV file into various size grids to see if you formed any ASCII-art-style pictures within them, but couldn't spot anything. As I couldn't find anything further I thought it worth posting this answer - but do say if you've hidden something else that needs solving! (Just going off the complexity of the last one of yours that I solved!) Thanks :) | |
