Does nproc also see problems with your processors? If so, why is one penguin (or three) facing the wrong direction?

Is one penguin being shunned? Or is the one penguin trying to ditch the othe three? ;)

Hej Nick!

No. It only prints the number of processors.

If so, why is one penguin (or three) facing the wrong direction?

That is because the penguin routine randomizes the direction for each pengui Note that in this particular post there are 2 facing right and 2 facing left

Or is the one penguin trying to ditch the other three? ;)

Maybe. I definetly have no insight into the goings on in ASCII penguins min
The 4 below look like they are pairing off.

That was ages ago and as shown below there are now a dozen of them, half of which are in the pairing position. So far nothing has come of it. I am guessing ascii penguins are sterile or perhaps they haven't figured out how to do 'it'. Have yet to see any ascii eggs laid nevermind hatch. Obviously privacy hasn't worked.

That's about as simple as I can make them. However it changes nothing and will totally screw up the 16 penguin matrix length-wise for quoting, and nobody wants that.
