Re: [Exercise] Happy Birthday golf

@raja: Your answer inserts an extra newline at the beginning. ---Edit My bad it doesn't.
@m0ei: Your answer inserts an extra newline at the end.

What if it does? The problem was to print those lines as seen and it was accomplished am I missing something?

It could look something like this

a='to you,\n';print"Happy Birthday %s"*4%(a,a,'dear name!\n','to you.')

Exactly. Now it's 72 characters. This game is about characters. Anyway, who cares, we're just making the game harder for each other for fun.
