I created a set of
10 regex golf puzzles and am looking for people to try them out.
To the uninitiated: The aim of regex golf is to create a regex (we're using ECMAScript), as short as possible, which matches all strings from one list while not matching any of the strings from the other. You can play the original version
here which has easier puzzles.
For a short time, I'm offering small bitcoin rewards (order 20 mills) for what I consider novel and interesting solutions or cool custom problems. I'm also offering rewards for
robust solutions (solutions that follow the implicit pattern) which are shorter than those I currently have.
Please don't post solutions on page 1 of this thread (I will delete them); hints and scores are ok. If you want to claim a reward before we reach page 2 then pm me or post the md5sum of your solution here and wait.
MD5sums of my current robust solutions:
