3 6$<^:6]0 0$0 NB. or a=:":3 6$<^:6]0 0$0 for a text quilt
-- EwartShaw 2005-11-01 14:04:10
This solution by EwartShaw was posted in less than 20 min 
after the puzzle publication. It has the same character count as mine.

3 6$<^:6 i.0 0 NB. same character count but lower word count
-- RogerHui 2005-11-01 15:37:06
Raul Miller's runner-up 3 6$<^:5 a: compared with the required result shows property of J formatter to yield a zero height box for shapes with zero in position other than _1, raison d'etre of j quilt ascii art as a new artform commemorating this "recent" discovery. Cf.
<i.1 0 ++ || ++ <i.0 1 +-+ +-+ <i.0 0 ++ ++
There is still at least one not shortest but interesting option.
-- OlegKobchenko 2005-11-01 22:02:02
<"2 L:0^:6 i.3 6 0 0 is not shortest... -- Raul Miller 2005-11-01 23:03:08
This one deserves credit for creative use of rare primitives. Meanwhile, there is a shorter similar one.-- OlegKobchenko 2005-11-02 00:05:05
Puzzle format discussion
How about combining the problem statement and solution pages for this and the JQuilt2 puzzles? It'd easy to arrange things so that the spoiler solutions are not inadvertently seen, and it'd follow the format for all the other puzzles. -- RogerHui 2005-11-01 23:06:31
I understand that multi-exits per puzzle are breaking the Puzzles page uniformity, so all problem statementes for a puzzle (the sub-puzzles) might be combined on one page and all solutions on the other grouped by sub-puzzle. It will require subheadings and intra-page anchors, which I still look forward to master. If that's what you mean, it's a great idea. -- OlegKobchenko 2005-11-01 23:33:21
I meant a page Puzzles/JQuilt containing the problem statement and solutions for one puzzle, and another page Puzzles/JQuilt2 containing the problem statement and solutions for the other puzzle. That is the format for all the other puzzles so far. -- RogerHui 2005-11-01 23:37:25
That's good too. I will do that. -- OlegKobchenko 2005-11-02 00:00:07
