All right, that sounds good. Perhaps we need a topic where we can sketch it out? I'd welcome any question suggestions that people might have.Post them here

Yahtzee scoring.
Mind to explain a bit more? Like a score card you put in the numbers and it calculates for you, or something else.

I think he means the specific scoring for Yahtzee and its rules; for example, that plus a GUI yields this: http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/289/28905.html. Perhaps you could be given a set of dice rolls and try to find the highest achievable Yahtzee score with or without knowing what all the rolls will be in advance.
The challenge I have in mind is that, when you have five numbers from one through six, for what categories can you get a score higher than zero?

That sounds like a good idea. For bonus points perhaps evaluate the best strategy? Either one would be fun, I think. 
What if I took Kerm's Yahtzee game and more or less made it so it can run alone and get the highest possible score?

You get 30 points for a small straight, which is 4 consecutive numbers, and 40 points for a large straight, which is 5 consecutive numbers.

Then you would be cheating. 
But the score rules in it would indeed point you in the right direction; if you could rephrase them to be options rather than legality restrictions, that could solve the puzzle.
I am currently making a program that uses a 5 element list in Ans and finds the best way to score it.

Woot, sounds awesome. Is anyone else working on this challenge now? Beta7 wrote:

I think it will. It's not too challenging in terms of the TI-BASIC, in my opinion; it's more about thinking mathematically about it. >(<') KermMartian wrote:

It is rather easy to check for each way to score it and find the highest possible score, but the real challenge is to find the smallest way to do it. >(v')
Edit by Tanner: Fixed your post, you had the wrong smiley >.<
Update:
I've got most of the scoring programmed, all I have left is to program the Chance and Yahtzee methods of scoring.

Congrats, gogogo! Who else is working on a competing implementation? I've got most of the scoring programmed, all I have left is to program the Chance and Yahtzee methods of scoring.
I completed the challenge, so I get to create the next one >!
I will upload the program tomorrow with the source, as I'm too lazy to get it off my calculator right now
.
Challenge: Compress a string of arbitrary size using a method other than RLE.
