[ENDED] Code Golf Contest #11

Challenge 11

Problem

Create a program that, given an integer 0 through 999,999, does the "4 is magic" transformation. If you don't know what that is, this is it:
  • Take the number written out in English and count the number of letters (i.e. 21 is "twenty-one" is 9 letters, 102 is "one hundred two" is 13 letters, 9999 is "nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine" is 33 letters).
  • If the result is 4, output "4 is magic." and exit.
  • Else, output "(original number) is (result)." and repeat step 1 with the result.
Example:
Code: [Select]
31 is 9.
9 is 4.
4 is magic.

-70% bonus if you actually display the number-words instead of the numbers.

Yay, got it to 562-70%=168.6 characters in Ruby.

EDIT: 559-70%=167.7 now. Also I have a few questions:
- Do I have to print "4 is 4" with an input of 4? (No would save a few bytes)
- "Ninety-nine" or "ninety nine"? Does it matter? (No would save one byte)
- Capital letter at the beginning? (No would save a few bytes)

1. No, input of 4 means instant input of "4 is magic".
2. It shouldn't matter, but that's how I write numbers, usually. Do it if you want.
3. Whatever you want, but it's common courtesy to.

I would like to congratulate you for keeping a contest alive for this long (11 contests in such short period of time even though you are not a staff member). I know on IRC you said there weren't many entries for this one but the thing is that normally mini-contests die after 3 or 4 of them because the novelty wears off after a while (and in this case, school started). In fact, some recent contests like the revival of cage matches and the music contest never actually got any entry, if they even started at all. So good job. Some future suggestions to perhaps bring people back if they stopped participating:

-Put the contest theme inside the title (for example: Code Golf Contest #12: ThemeName)
-Perhaps do a small change of direction in terms of theme. Keep the same idea but explore themes that were not explored before
-Make the deadline 2 weeks for each contest if the regulars look busy
-Make sure that the rules are well planned for each contest (perhaps have somebody review them before the contest starts?) so that there are as few rule edits in the middle of the contest as possible and less loopholes. For example, for the olympic ring contest, the easiest way to win was to use HP PPL language.

Thank you for your kind remarks. I will try to use your suggestions.

In related news, the deadline of this contest is moved to October 5, and new contests will now be on Saturdays instead of Mondays.

As for new contests, here are the ones that are most likely to happen up until #15 (if I can squeeze another month or two out of this thing) (these are only ideas, not giving away every detail yet):
#12: Befunge Numbers (make optimal expressions in RPN that evaluate to input)
#13: A Picture's Worth 140 Characters (give a way to compress and decompress images into a 140 character or less string)
#14: Getting Out What You Don't Put In (output every character your program DOESN'T have, and nothing else)
#15: History Repeats Itself (make a program that, when repeated, outputs two different specified strings)

If you have any questions about these questions, contact me. I can try to clarify most of the details for you.

Yep, what DJ said. Congrats for keeping it up for 11 iterations and getting many people to enter each time! I entered in every contest so far, and the ideas you gave for the next ones looks pretty interesting and challenging.
