Code: ' *'[1+3=v∘.+v←19⍴|4-⍳6] Length: 24 chars (stored with unicode it takes 32 chars) Description: ⍳6 .. numbers from 1 to 6: 1 2 3 4 5 6 4-⍳6 .. numbers from 3 to ¯2: 3 2 1 0 ¯1 ¯2 |4-⍳6 .. absolute value, so from 3 to 0 to 2: 3 2 1 0 1 2 19⍴|4-⍳6 .. 19 numbers like above alternating: 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 v← .. store in v v∘.+v .. add each value with each other, resulting in a 2-dim matrix 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 4 3 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 5 4 3 4 5 6 3=v∘.+v .. the value of 3 is what we look for and become 1, the rest becomes zero 1+ .. add 1, so we can use the number 1 and 2 as index Finally: ' *'[1+3=v∘.+v←19⍴|4-⍳6] .. the string stores space and *, with our calculation we chose space with 1, and * with 2 (string is seen as zero based array)
