PWC 391's tasks are "Array Median" and "Arrange Box".

I was trying really hard to think of some music to go with "array", "median", or "arrange"... when a voice in my head hit me with a brick and said "Music. Box. The Musical Box, you bozo."

PWC 390's tasks are "Decode String" and "Order Characters".

Back in April PWC 369 had a task "Group Division" which made me think of Joy Division. Well "Order Characters" made me think of New Order. So enjoy all 7:30 of Blue Monday.

PWC 389's tasks are "Reorder Notes" and "ZigZag Subarray".

There's a Roy Orbison song called Zig Zag from the soundtrack of a 1970 movie by the same name. It's not that great compared to other Roy songs, but then again, it's not that bad, either.

Perl Weekly Challenge 387's tasks are "Rearrange Binary String" and "Atoms Count".

When I saw that one of this week's tasks was counting atoms, I thought "This is a job for PARTICLE MAN!!!"

Perl Weekly Challenge 384's tasks are "Base N" and "Special Binary Substrings".

I asked my wife about the music, and she said "Base N? Basin. Basin Street Blues."
