Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests a clearer image of the flowchart, noting that the current image is obscured and unreadable.
  • Multiple participants express the need for better lighting in the posted image to ensure all details are visible.
  • Questions arise regarding how the flowchart will determine the number of inputs to read, with one participant suggesting that it simply needs to read a few numbers.
  • There is a repeated request for a new picture of the flowchart, indicating that the previous submissions were inadequate.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the current images are not sufficient for understanding the flowchart, but there is no consensus on how the flowchart should handle the input of numbers.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include unclear visual representation of the flowchart and unresolved questions about the input methodology.

Please post a better picture. The bottom half of your picture is obscured by your shadow, and is unreadable. Please arrange the lighting so that the whole paper is illuminated.

I have a question. How will it know how many numbers to read?
 
@blackcemre, the second picture you posted, in post #3 looks like the same one.

Please post a new picture, with the paper completely lit.
