So, we write it as:

s(())((pprriinntt  qq  ""JJuusstt  aannootthheerr  PPeerrll  HHaacckkeerr""));;
s((((((((((((..??))))))))))..??))(($11))egg;;
s((..??((((((((((..................................))))))))))))(($11))ee;;


6 undoubled chars; 3 if you use the comment trick. No non-doubled
characters in a row.
