RegEx Brain Teaser Part II
Monday, December 8th, 2008
In July I published a post calling out puzzle enthusiasts to solve a programming brain teaser that involved grouping duplicates. Some solved it with a hefty amount of code, others used a savvy regular expression.
Now I’d like to invite you to yet another brain teaser, except this time your answer must require a regular expression. If you solve it, I would urge you to buy yourself a t-shirt ;)

Episode 16: A fictional JavaScript tale
This episode was done solo as I tell a fictional tale about five JavaScript kids (among others) that I wrote during a night I wasn’t able to get any sleep. It features a few of the greatest JavaScripters around as the characters including the following:
- Dustin Diaz (myself)
- Dan Webb
- John Resig
- Peter Paul
- Justin Palmer
- Copy Paste Boy (Billy)
Episode 15: Venni viddi vicci of Events
