Not Regex But Regret When We Mess It

Ghost? Fine. Zombie? Whatever. Nuclear war? Slightly concerning. But regex? PURE TERROR. That incomprehensible string of brackets, slashes, and special characters is the true horror story of programming. You start with a simple pattern match and end up summoning an eldritch abomination that somehow passes all your tests but fails spectacularly in production. The character falling off their chair and literally dying is the most accurate representation of regex debugging I've ever seen. The tombstone is for your sanity, not your body.

Content - 2 miscellaneous questions - Question 89 Hans Christian Andersen meets Pinocchio, and they chit-chat amicably. (NB. Hans Christian Andersen knows full well that Pinocchio's nose grows whenever he tells a lie, and that it doesn't whenever he tells the truth.) Pinocchio says: "Hum, my nose feels funny." He takes his handkerchief and sneezes into it. Without removing his handkerchief, he says: "Yup, it is growing.' Should Hans Christian Andersen believe Pinocchio? a Yes he should. No he should not. c One cannot say either way: it is a paradox. Ouestion 90 Facetiously, Mimer asks Sigbjorn the Fearless whether there exists a word in English that contains all of the vowels "a", "e", "j", "o", "u", and "y", in that order. Does there exist such a word in English? a Yes. CONSTANT VIGILANCE! No. c I cannot possibly know this, and furthermore this facetious question about reference is seriously out of scope for a first-year course on programming languages.
