Hints for the Challenge:

Below, you can find another hint for the Challenge.

You should only get here after reading, digesting, and applying the .

Hint

It would be silly to take a frequently occurring character as escape character. A tilde ~ seems a reasonable choice for escape character.

The program now needs to be adapted to use these new markers. That is, the blueprint should be updated to use the new markers, and both copy() and transcribe() should handle these new markers. Note that copy() needs to copy makers as-is, but it breaks lines at newline markers (a convenient choice we made in Hint 21, but which now will complicate copy() somewhat).

Can you realize these changes?

Try your program in the machine, and see if you can extend it to an improved solution.
