Year 9?

I don't get it. The letters count as zeros, right? So why does this not work?

a:
INBOX
JUMPZ b
INBOX
b:
OUTBOX
JUMP a


When it hits a letter that's a zero, it takes it to the outbox. But this-

JUMP b
a:
OUTBOX
b:
c:
INBOX
JUMPZ a
JUMP c

-essentially does the same thing, except when it hits a letter that in the original code counts as zero, this just skips the zero bit and goes to grab another item. I don't get it. Are letters zeros or not? And if they're just NaN, then how do they work?

You're supposed to skip non-zero values, and letters don't count as zero.

If you're not sure what the requested output is, you can always click on the person at the desk and select "Give me an example?"

Even if you were supposed to treat letters as zero, the first example wouldn't work. If you started with A and B as inputs, you would grab A, not JUMP, grab B and then output B.

I have the same Problem. My letters are definetly recognized as Zeros! Everytime the human picks up the letter, it goes to the outbox. Is this a bug?

wtf, it actually works with the solution from strategy wiki...sorry :-/

Letters count as the Number they would be if you numbered the Alphabet, so A is 1, B is 2...
