An 'Even string' is any string where the parity of the ASCII values of the characters is always alternating. For example, the string EvenSt-ring$! is an even-string because the ASCII values of the characters are:

Warning: This challenge is only valid for languages with a compiler.
Make a program (which is perfectly valid code) that outputs Hello, World, even before runtime.
How? Let me explain.
Many languages have a compiler. Some operations are made in the compile-time, and others, in runtime. You trick the compiler to outpu... | stackexchange_codegolf |
All variables in this question are integer valued.
Input
4 integers w, x, y, z. They can be positive or negative and will be less than 1048576 in absolute value.
Output
The general solution to the equation.
\$ aw+bx+cy+dz = 0 \$.
The variables \$a, b, c, d\$ must all be integer values.
Output format
Your output should ... | stackexchange_codegolf |
Your function must accept one string and return the opposite
The opposite string is a string where all characters go in reverse order, all letters are replaced with the opposite mirror letter from the English alphabet and are changed in case, and all digits are replaced with opposite mirror digits

Inspired by Expand exponentation.
Knuth's up arrow notation is used for big numbers such as Graham's number.
If we look deeper, we can see how it makes big numbers.
One arrow means exponentiation. e.g. 2↑3 equals 2^3 = 8.
Two or more arrows means repeating the instructions of n-1 arrows. e.g. 2↑↑3 equals 2↑2↑2 equals 2... | stackexchange_codegolf |
Pancake sorting is the colloquial term for the mathematical problem of
sorting a disordered stack of pancakes in order of size when a spatula
can be inserted at any point in the stack and used to flip all
pancakes above it. A pancake number P(n) is the minimum number of
flips required for n pancakes. 1

Given a boolean matrix representing my grass field, sheep length \$n\$ and wool thickness \$k\$, you will have to count my sheep.
A sheep is a single independent unbroken line of sheep length \$n\$ and thickness \$k\$.

Not exactly sure if it belongs in this site, but I always have trouble thinking of all the certain edge cases in any kind of competitive programming or puzzles.
For example, take this kind of problem
Find the size of the smallest list of squares that add up to n
f(16)-> 1 (16)
f(17)-> 2 (16+1)

This quite literally came to me in a dream.
A common combination padlock design has letters on the dials so you can set the combination to a word. Unfortunately, I can't read, but I can count. Considering I am in a hurry, send the shortest path around the dials to open the 4 letter lock, given the current letters and t... | stackexchange_codegolf |
Purpose
The idea is to provide the code necessary to map a 32-bit integer to/from a pronouncable word of 9 characters maximum. That could be useful, for example, to make a serial number easier to remember, or type in a form.
Both the method for translating an integer to the corresponding word and for translating back a... | stackexchange_codegolf |
Im talking about this question, take a look at it if you are a bit confused.
Main Task
Your task is to output concatenated integers, in decreasing order, but increasing the maximum integer everytime you hit 1 (for this question, 1 will be considered a prime number). While this doesn't sound any different from the first... | stackexchange_codegolf |
There are many types of binary operations, which can be categorized by their associative properties and their commutative properties.
A binary operation () is associative if the order of operations between operands does not affect the result — i.e. if (a(bc)) = ((ab)c).
A binary operation () is commutative if the orde... | stackexchange_codegolf |

2015 was the year of the goat! In this challenge, you will figure out which animal represents the year. To avoid making this challenge to complex you won't need to calculate Chinese new year.
Because they are only 12 animals in the Zodiac, your code will need to be as short as possible.
