I will reply with the classifications for those later, but which anagrams gave different results?

[DanielH]

Nevermind, I thought the alphabet was accepted and the backwards alphabet was rejected but instead they are both rejected. I now know of no pairs of anagrams giving different results.

[MTC]

Rule guess: convert each letter to a number based on English alphabet position, add up the numbers, then add the digits in the resulting numbers. Testing the final number; even results get a yes, odd results get a no.

[pedromvilar]

Uh I forgot to classify the strings DanielH posted there but that is correct!

Original phrasing of the rule, for hashing purposes: Convert letters to numbers according to their positions in the alphabet, then add them. Add the digits of the resulting number, and continue doing that until you're left with a single digit. That digit must be even.

The why was j accepted?

Edit: previously had more caps, which I got rid of because they would probably have been misinterpreted. They were intended to convey frustration; I kept considering this rule and then glaring at the letter j which didn't seem to fit because 1+0=1.

[pedromvilar]

........j was a mistake

Wow I must've screwed up lots of correct guesses with that one

Um sorry <.<

[DanielH]

If nobody gets there first I will start a new game tonight.

MTC obviously has priority if desired.

[DanielH]

Preamble
Since MTC didn’t declare an intention to run a game and nobody else came by and started one, I’m doing it. Could we get this linked in the preamble?

Rule
Acceptable strings: Any sequence of ASCII letters (the 26 standard English letters, without accents, either case).
Hash: eaa025ec0b8a9e53badcacd96bf9034f708fc16a
Difficulty: Probably very difficult, but could turn out to be pretty easy. I have a planned hint which will be available, if requested, at least 72 hours after I post this.

Examples
To show that it is case sensitive:
'lorica', a Latin word for body armor
'Lorica', a Bell

[pedromvilar]

Which is the positive starting example and which is the negative?

[DanielH]

Oops.
Lorica is negative, lorica is positive.

EDIT to add: next game here. I edit this post instead of the initial post of this game for the same reason I answer the question of which is which here instead of the original post where it belongs: I don’t want to edit the post with the hash.
