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 386's tasks are "Reverse Base" and "Rational Numbers".

I figured, since both tasks are all about Algebra, we should listen to some Tom Lehrer.

PWC 385's tasks are "Uncommon Words" and "Outermost Parentheses".

I thought I remembered one of my favored artists doing a song featuring "uncommon", and the first one that popped up in my music collection was Carole King: An Uncommon Love.

Perl Weekly Challenge: A heaven on earth, they call it Base-N Street

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."

Perl Weekly Challenge 383's tasks are "Similar List" and "Nearest RGB".

Since this week's tasks are about finding things that are close, but not exact, and my is on a Weird Al kick, let's pick "Close But No Cigar" as this week's musical selection.

Perl Weekly Challenge 381's tasks are "Same Row Column" and "Smaller Greater Element".

This week I honed in on "great" for the music choice, and Freddie Mercury's version of The Great Pretender immediately jumped to mind.

Perl Challenge: Shift to low gear, a $50 fine my friend!

I'm making another entry backfilling the challenges I missed while my mother was dying; I'm doing these in her honor.

PWC 297's tasks were "Contiguous Array" and "Semi-Ordered Permutation".

Perl Weekly Challenge 379's tasks are "Reverse String" and "Armstrong Number". So, I think for music this week, I'll give you a number by Armstrong. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir packy.dardan.com/b/sE

Perl Weekly Challenge 377's tasks are "Reverse Existence" and "Prefix Suffix". Hmmm. Reverse. What does "reverse" make me think of musically? The existence of this song. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir packy.dardan.com/b/rU

Perl Weekly Challenge 375's tasks are "Single Common Word" and "Find K-Beauty". 🤔 Ok, I'm free-associating here, but the "K" and "Beauty" made me think of Carol King and Beautiful. #PerlWeeklyChallenge #raku #perl #python #elixir packy.dardan.com/b/qf
