Converting a set chunk of data into an equation!
Perhaps you need to memorize all 7 continents(Pretend that its hard). You could make an equation, and the X value will be the order from left to right of the continent, and the Y value will be the name from alphabetical order(Assuming your test has a word bank).
You could make a simple formula to ace the test.
Name: X(Index Left to Right): Y(Alphabetical Order):
Antarctica 0 1
North America 1 5
South America 2 6
Africa 3 0
Europe 4 4
Asia 5 2
Australia 6 3
Then make a simple equation that can get this output. Maybe a polynomial (Probably a 7-Degree one).
Is this a good idea? I'm going to try programming this later once my VB.net download is complete.

That was my compression algorithm I attempted.. I thought I could surpass winzip by converting a huge CHUNK of data into a equation which can be unpacked to decompress the data yet taking little data.. I realized I couldn't just use the regular INT_32 int_64 because some chunks in decimal are represented in trillion of trillion of trillion as a number.. so you have to create a dynamic datatype or something.. I never really got anywhere.
Say equation will be like 54*2348+129/43*1273 to represent like 1 MB of data when it's only like 30 bytes.

I'm not really understanding what you're saying. Do you mean compression by indexing into some sort of global hash table ?

something like that and then the number hash can easily be structured into a format and decoded by doing proper shifting.
But i wasn't going there.. i ment like this..
say you got a result from a equation like 3242343243 which you can represent as bytes in hex it would be 0xC1,0x42,0x3B,0x4B sure it's only 4 bytes and equation is probably alot more. But it would be very efficient logically thinking on HUGE payloads where the mathematical equation would generate numbers with as much as a million zeros or more from a equation thats probably 1000 bytes max.
That was my first compression idea.. my next compression idea imo would be the future of data compression as we know it.. you know how assembly if it's not proceeded properly say a jmp goes into the wrong place because EIP register for corrupted by the previous instruction or IDK some unexpected stuff occurs.
that unexpected stuff is of course called "self modifying code". How about a self modifying compression? see where I'm going with this..
Writing self modifying code isn't easy even for a human but a computer can easily do this even with something as simple as brute force to try to get as little instructions as possible.. save the instructions .. and run them to decompress..
I remember releasers back from CLASS or MYTH used something idk what. But there was a racing game 4x4 something with trucks which was 4 MB.. after decompressing it for 2 hours.. it was over 2 gigs.
I'm a fan of data compression because I always struggled with slow youtube video's and utorrent downloads, plus it can revolutionize the way we think..

So annoying, I would have downloaded 3GB faster than decompress it. Nanozip was used.

Also, you said this assumes you have a word bank. I haven't had a test in 6 years that had a word bank

Then you better be good at spelling.
