Hi Guys.
Ive been playing around with something I found from MancJS' github.
Basically its code golf e.g lowest number of chars wins.
http://www.hazy.xyz:1127 is the url for one Im currently hosting.
You play by uploading a file (enter as many times as you want it will just update your total.) with a function named play and return what its expecting.

e.g if the challenge was add world onto the input argument then all the file would need to contain is
function play(s){return s+'world'}

Anyone interested in playing?

Your key is m0zv1zx stops other people using your email address but it doesnt store it in cookies or anything just url so without publicly posting your email use

Pretty good with JavaScript, not so good with math. Never even heard of a sociable number :) Can't get my head around the algo.

I didnt either just googled it till I found some examples to test my algorithm with I use this to check my outputs vs what I think it should output

I get it from admin area
3m51345 is dr test and
tybfpax is gravy monster since you need email anyway I guess can be public :D. I didnt make the game "engine" but I might tweak it abit to stop this happening.
 
That got it, thanks.

Now just need to work on the algorithm. My output matches the examples of a social number in Wikipedia, but the result I get is 'expected array of 27 items, got array of 11 items'. Hmmmm.
 
No, it returns [1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, 340, 3719, 7438, 14876, 18595, 37190, 63223, 74380, 126446, 252892, 316115, 632230].

Looks like I need to do some more reading.

Get divisors of number, sum them, add to array, get divisors of summed number, repeat until the summed number is the same as the original.

This confused me as well.
The 4 numbers on the wikipedia are not 4 separate examples, they are 4 numbers in a series (1264460, 1547860, 1727636, 1305184)

So your array is the divisors of 1264460, you need to add them together to get 1547860 and repeat the process again. When you add up all the divisors of 1547860, you'll get 1727637. Keep going until the series starts repeating (indicating the input was a social number) or you get to 0 (indicating the input wasnt a social number*.

*I think :p
