ItzIngenious has found what seems to be the funniest type-in on this site.
I'm here to explain how it works.
Update: ItzIngenious apparently deleted the blog where he said about that.
How it Works
So, the funniest type-in is :
Kyrg was a guy with a weird name who met someone called Stan.
It actually works, too. This is because of how the RegEx system we use for type-ins works.
Here is the RegEx program for Kyrgyzstan.
K[IY]RG[A-Z]+STAN
If I'm correct, that means that it will accept as an answer, anything that begins with K, has either an I or Y, followed by RG, then anything between A and Z, followed by the letters STAN. If you look at what has been deemed the funniest type-in, you'll see that it fits that criteria, and therefore is an acceptable type-in. The reason this also works with Kaza for Kazakhstan and Taji for Tajikistan is for a similar reason.
Kazakhstan RegEx : KH?AZ[A-Z]+STAN
Tajikistan RegEx : TAJ[A-Z]+STAN
I hope you now all have a better understanding of how this works.
^ refers to "starts with"
[ ] accepts one of the characters within the brackets
+ accepts one or more of the previous value
So, the RegEx "^K[IY]RG[A-Z]+STAN" essentially means that the answer entered must start with K, followed by either I or Y, then RG, one or more of any letter, and finally STAN in order to be accepted. Thus, weird answers such as Kirgmomimhungrypleasefeedmepotatoesstan would work.
Not sure how clear that was, but you can see this blog by Stewart for a better understanding.
I also have a couple WIPs :P
now I’m getting too accustomed to writing “Kaza farted on Stan”Kyrgdstan
because it would be shorter than typing Kyrgyzstan and the d is between the g and s which you'd have to type.
