Okay, so I've decided to practise my golfing before the next apocalypse (after
steadfastly refusing to try -n0 //m in my last outing, and just discovering
~$&). I thought maybe I should devise my own problem to golf. But then not 5
minutes later I stumble across an excellent candidate due to Christian
Neukirchen. The problem is a text scrambler which does this:
# (1) Only letters will be encrypted.
# (2) Words with less than 3 letters will be reversed.
# (3) Words with more than 3 letters will be scrambled this way:
# * All letters on even locations move to the left-hand side.
# * All letters on odd locations move to the right-hand side.
# * A "`" gets between the both sides if the word has more
# than 4 characters.
e.g.
# The only time anyone has tried to make a problem for me was those
# owners, so called, self-styled owners of Gosling Emacs.

# onr`wes, os cle`ald, slef-sye`tld onr`wes fo Gsig`oln Eas`mc.

post your best encoder to the list... my feeble effort soon.
