| Feb 8, 2016 at 0:12 | comment | added | LegionMammal978 | @ArtOfCode How did you calculate that? | |
| Feb 7, 2016 at 21:59 | comment | added | ArtOfCode | If you use #4B6081 instead, this might score slightly better. That's the average color of the image. | |
| Jan 28, 2016 at 10:13 | comment | added | N. Virgo | Personally I think this is a fine answer, well within the spirit of the question. | |

This reminds me of my submission to the TopCoder Enigma match, which just returned a string of es with some as (for input e) for the decoded string. I beat half of the other submissions.

| Jan 27, 2016 at 13:04 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | @AlexA. Hum. I would have naïvely thought that this answer will actually be quite close to the best. Looking at the other answers I can see that I was somewhat wrong but it doesn’t invalidate the approach and it’s most certainly not a joke answer. In fact, it’s a close illustration of how many simple yet practical statistical fitting methods work. Furthermore, the fundamental approach is very similar to other, better answers: compress the image by a factor N. | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 5:30 | comment | added | Calvin's Hobbies | @AlexA. I disagree. This is a valid, if simplistic solution. I doubt there would be any call to remove it if it wasn't so highly upvoted or if it were only one of a couple answers. | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 5:24 | comment | added | Calvin's Hobbies | I hope people know that a lower score is better in this challenge. | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 1:06 | comment | added | LegionMammal978 | @AlexA. There were no other answers, so I decided to create a simple reference solution to get started. A non-serious submission would be my original all-white-pixels idea... | |
| Jan 27, 2016 at 0:23 | comment | added | Alex A. | Per the Help Center, all submissions must be serious contenders for the winning criteria in use. This is clearly not a serious submission. Joke answers are not welcome on this site. | |
| Jan 24, 2016 at 22:54 | comment | added | LegionMammal978 | @ThomasWeller I just took the mean of each channel. | |
| Jan 24, 2016 at 22:34 | comment | added | Thomas W. | Can you give us some details? Did you brute force the color to minimize the score? Or is there some simple math involved to find out that color? Will any color do? | |
