-# What is Code Golf?
+# How to kill a joke
+### ...or Jason really is the smarter one here
 
-> Code golf is a type of recreational computer programming competition in which participants strive to achieve the shortest possible source code that solves a certain problem. Code golf challenges and tournaments may also be named with the programming language used. --- [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_golf)
+Contains three submissions. Please grade according to your understanding of the rules.
 
-# Rules
-
-1. Submit code you wrote. Don't reuse someone else's code.
-2. **NO AI**
-3. Don't Google/Bing/DDG/Kagi for answers.
-4. All pull requests must be opened before Aug 14 2025 11:30 AM EDT.
-
-
-The shortest _correct_ program wins. In the event no submissions fully pass the test suite winners will be selected by number of passing test cases and code brevity.
-
-## Supported Languages
-
-* C#
-* Python
-* Go
-* Typescript/Javascript
-
-# The Problem
-
-Convert numbers written with Arabic numerals into Roman numerals.
-
-| Arabic | Roman |
-| -----: | ----: |
-|      1 |     I |
-|      2 |    II |
-|      3 |   III |
-|      4 |    IV |
-|      5 |     V |
-|     10 |     X |
-|     20 |    XX |
-|     25 |   XXV |
-|     30 |   XXX |
-|     40 |    XL |
-|     50 |     L |
-|    100 |     C |
-|    200 |    CC |
-|    400 |    CD |
-|    500 |     D |
-|   1000 |     M |
-
-## Example Conversions
-
-`27` → `XXVII`
-
-`238` → `CCXXXVIII`
-
-`2019` → `MMXIX`
-
-# Submission Requirements
-
-All submissions should expect to be invoked from the command line with a single argument, the path to a text file. This file will contain 5 numbers written using Arabic numerals. Numbers are separated by a newline (`\n`). Submissions are expected to iterate over the numbers printing the Roman numeral translation for each to the console/stdout.
-
-## Example
-
-```python
-import sys
-
-
-def main():
-    # Exit with error status if no filename provided
-    if len(sys.argv) < 1:
-        print("Filename missing!")
-        sys.exit(1)
-
-    print(f"Input file: {sys.argv[0]}")
-    # Open the file for reading
-    with open(sys.argv[1], "r") as fd:
-        line = fd.readline().strip()
-        while line != "":
-            # Convert line to Roman numeral
-            print(line)
-            line = fd.readline().strip()
-
-
-if __name__ == "__main__":
-    main()
+If input files **never** contain trailing spaces, only digits separated by newlines:
+```sh
+$ python3 149.py <<filename>>
 ```
-
-This repo contains a [sample file](https://github.com/kevsmith/code_golf/blob/main/input.txt) you can use for development.
-
+If input files **can** contain trailing spaces, and lines need to be stripped before parsing:
+```sh
+$ python3 152.py <<filename>>
+```
+If whitespace truly doesn't count, no matter what:
+```sh
+$ python3 cheating.py <<filename>>
+```
+If you don't want to run an `exec` blob for fear of having a rootkit installed, and would instead like to compile your own whitespace bomb:
+```sh
+$ python3 how_to_cheat.py 152.py > runme.py
+$ python3 runme.py <<filename>>
+```
+You can also swap the `exec` for `print` to see what you'll be running before you run it.
