gollark: Maybe I should obfuscate further by randomly generating my opinion of each.
gollark: ```c int apio[100] = {0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0};```
gollark: `3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 2 3 3 4 3 3 2 3 3 4 3 3 2` is the output on the basic case I used.
gollark: Yep, it works.
gollark: Is what I would say if I didn't have a good test suite, but I have a basic one.
