gollark: Maybe throw in some linear algebra somehow to accurse it.

gollark: To be vaguely beeish, you could make it count all the characters in string 1, subtract 1 every time the corresponding one is encountered in string 2, and check if it's 0 at the end.

gollark: I prefer mine, because it doesn't repeat itself.

gollark: ```pythonentry = (lambda bee: lambda cryo, apioform: bee(cryo) == bee(apioform))(lambda apioform: list(sorted([x.lower() for x in apioform if x != " "])))```

gollark: The maze solving was doable easily with depth first search, which is what I did.
