MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The world's only quadrennial, or four-yearly newspaper, has hit the kiosks again in France with the release of a new issue of the satirical La Bougie du Sapeur.
Conceived by a group of friends who "wanted to have a laugh", La Bougie du Sapeur (The Sapper's Candle) has a print run of 200,000.
Styling itself as anti-politically correct, La Bougie is organised like a regular newspaper, with sections on politics, sport, international affairs, arts, puzzles and celebrity gossip.
This edition's headline - We will all be intelligent - is above a story about how exams and intellectual attainment are being made redundant by AI.
On the international pages, there is a short piece reminding the French who was the most "forgettable" of modern British prime ministers - Liz Truss.
And in sport, the editors recommend the creation of a Winston Churchill award for the first person to be eliminated in the Olympic Games.
The original article contains 451 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 66%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is the 12th issue and it started in 1980.
It’s funny in which way the bot kinda doesn’t work in this specific example, where the boring numbers are the main attraction and the actual content of the paper are not that relevant (to me at least).
But how would it be the 12th?
1980,1984,1988,1992,1996
2004,2008,2012,2016,2020
2024
That's only 11
Edit: Im wrong, 2000 was a leap year
2000 was a leap year because it was divisible by 400 even though years divisible by 100 are not leap years.
