You have to replace '$1' by the actual value of $1. If you try that with
a regex, $1 is changed. In your case, $1 (and $2, $3 etc.

I don't know. The arbiter in this game is mjd and he has yet to

We started 2 new golfs yesterday, "Modular Fibonacci" and "Go golf".
"Modular Fibonacci" : http://terje.dev.webon.net/golf/?12
"Go golf" : http://terje.dev.webon.net/golf/?11
