The bartender says, "I'll give you a free drink if you can tell me a good joke." So the woman says, "What do you do when you see a spaceman? You park, man." So the bartender gives her a free beer."

Post by: Mince on October 08, 2021, 07:31:24 PM: How difficult is this? Fine! Let me explain using pseudo-code.

function meta(meta_level){

if (meta_level == 0){

guy.say(bartender).about(SPACE_MAN);

bartender.say(guy).about(PARK_MAN);

return FREE_DRINK;

}

guy.walkInto(bar);

guy.say(bartender).about(FREE_DRINK);

bartender.say(guy).about(META_JOKE);

return meta(meta_level - 1);

}

I've never been accused of being polite before.
