I was thinking about @binarygolf #BGGP6, I figured, okay, the shortest ambigram program(a program that evaluates both ways) that prints "6", is 7 bytes.

Is there anything else? Well, if you run this next ambigram at exactly 54 minutes and 18 seconds, any hour of the day, it will also print "6".

#BGGP6 is off to a great start! We got 4 entries in the first 24 hours (as many entries as all of BGGP1!).

In the lead so far by total score is mauke, who made a 55 byte 4-way polyglot that is also a palindrome (pictured).

Today is the last day of #BGGP 5!

Make sure your submissions are in, and we will have results and more information in the coming weeks!

@tecknicaltom That is totally valid. File size is counted based on what appears on disk. Some entries will inherently need envvars or other command line arguments to run. We try to distinguish entries by the techniques used.
@barubary we have to have some flexibility due to what we are asking for. Since the expectation for scripts is that they are executed in the command line, we expect argv[0] to be there no matter what. We have traditionally counted the file size as only what appears on disk. It's a cheeky technicality for sure, but we are making sure to give some context to the entry on the entries page.

What a great start to #BGGP5! We are seeing many interesting entries already, including a 399 byte PE, an SVG, and numerous shell tricks. Looking forward to seeing all the entries people have been hinting at on discord and social media. Follow along here: https://github.com/binarygolf/BGGP/tree/main/2024

Please note that it may take 24-48 hours for your entry to be verified. Feel free to check out the repo's issues for entries that are awaiting verification as well. https://github.com/binarygolf/BGGP/issues
