Hey y'all, I'm the person they mentioned in the article.

Because this is a fairly technical forum (and some people were asking about language specifics or runtime characteristics) I'll let you in on the question even though I left it out of the journalist interviews - hopefully this information will help you make sense of the article/interaction for yourself:

Write a Python program to take two numbers as input and if the sun is bigger than 100, output "this is a large number" but if it is less than 100 output the sum of the numbers.

Lol!

What were you denied entry for previously?
Sorry? I wasn't denied entry ever... Ahh the news.com.au article isn't worded very clearly: the person in front of me was denied entry (not me!)

If the sun is bigger than 100 what?
