questions

what's idaftap?

One day I was on a bus and the person next to me spent the entire ride staring at a sheet of paper covered entirely in a grid of handwritten capital letters. The sequence I D A F T A P occurred several times. Its meaning is mysterious but here are some options:

• IDAFTAP? Don't Ask, For The Answer's Poison
• It's Decidedly Amusing, Figuring The Actual Purpose
• I Do Always Find Trees Acutely Pleasant
• Inputs Difficult Actually Finding The Answers Program

ok but like what does "winning" mean

If you run one of the idaftap programs (they are in ~elly/pub/idaftap), find an input string that causes it to emit "!" other than "IDAFTAP", then send me that input string, I will put you on the list of winners!

can I...

Yes, you can.
