[Question]
  [
I was going through a bizarre thread on Reddit, and came across this:
( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°) ͡°)
It's representing a group of people smiling somewhat suspiciously.
(In the challenge below though, spaces to the left of the right eyes were dropped somehow while I was writing the challenge. Note the spec). 
---
Your goal is to create a group of smiling lenny faces `n` deep with the following rules:
1. At depth one, a full face (`( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)`) is shown.
2. At depth two, half faces are shown. On the left side, a little over half the face (`( ͡° ͜ʖ`) is represented. On the right however, the right side is shown, and the mouth is omitted (`ʖ ͡°)`)
3. Any deeper, and only the sides of head and eyes are shown (`( ͡°` and `͡°)`. There's a space between the eye and left side of the head, but there are, despite appearances, no spaces on the right side. The spacing is due the `͡` character which messes with things a bit.
---
Input:
* `n`, showing how many layers deep of faces to show.
* `n` will always be in the range `0 <= n <= 500`. You are not required to handle anything outside of this range.
* `n` may be offset by 1 so that 0 means one face instead of no faces. You'll need to handle -1 then though.
Output:
* A string, or character array, or anything remotely comparable (like a list of single-character strings in Python/Javascript). It can also be printed directly. Trailing white-space is fine.
You can submit a complete program, or a function.
---
Since it's difficult to see what characters are involved, here's it laid out in Python:
```
>> [ord(c) for c in '( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)']
[40, 32, 865, 176, 32, 860, 662, 32, 865, 176, 41]
>> [ord(c) for c in '( ͡°( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°)͡°)͡°)']
[40, 32, 865, 176, 40, 32, 865, 176, 40, 32, 865, 176, 32, 860, 662, 40, 32, 865, 176, 32, 860, 662, 32, 865, 176, 41, 662, 32, 865, 176, 41, 865, 176, 41, 865, 176, 41]
```

[Here's](https://gist.github.com/carcigenicate/3cd9dd7bbcbe8b2e7e3620c6b6df33a4) an extraordinarily naive recursive reference implementation (posted on my Github). I tried to keep it as plain as possible for clarity; but there's a lot of duplication
I posted it externally because I wanted to wrap it in a spoiler in case people don't want to see a reference, but that complicates copying the code. I figure it's not important to the challenge really, so it isn't a big deal if it goes down I can paste it here if it's deemed important.

To start we assign ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) to a string `x` for convenience.
```
x="( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"
```
Then we build a list of the answers and index it to find the solution. This is done by hardcoding the first two answers as the first two elements of the list and then iterating a function that adds the first 4 characters and the last 4 characters to front and back of the string across the third answer.
```
(!!)$"":x:iterate(4#8)(7#6$x)
```
We also have the special function `(#)` which adds a specified amount of ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) to the front and back of a string:
```
(a#b)y=take a x++y++drop b x

Add the mouth and nose to the man in the middle and the man to his right if any. We don't see the left eye of the man to his right so he doesn't need a space, and we gave the man in the middle a space on the first stage.

# [Inform 7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inform#Inform_7), 262 bytes
```
To say x:say "[Unicode 865][Unicode 176]".
To say y:say Unicode 860.
To say z:say Unicode 662.
To say p (N - number):say "( [x][p N minus 1][x])".
To say p (N - 2):say "( [x] [y][z][p 1][z][x])".
To say p (N - 1):say "( [x] [y][z] [x])".
To say p (N - 0):say "".
```
This takes advantage of Inform 7's function overloading: the most specific overload will be run, and the function that takes a number (any integer) as its argument is less specific than the function that takes the number two (and only two) as its argument.
There are some repeated bits of text, like "( [x]", which could potentially be abstracted as functions of their own—but I7 is so verbose, defining a new function takes more bytes than this would save! The only places defining a new function seems to save bytes is for the non-ASCII characters, since the syntax for printing them is *even more* verbose than the syntax for function definitions.
Boilerplate to run this:
```
Foo is a room. When play begins: say p 7.
```
Replace 7 with a non-negative integer of your choice.

To put input, change the 3 to whatever input you want, leaving the -1 alone.
If anyone knows a better way to do input that would reduce the char count let me know.
Nothing fancy going on here, just string slicing and abuse of booleans

Explanation:
```
Ｎθ
```
Input the number of faces.
```
Ｐ⭆θ✂ʖ ͡°)⊗‹¹ι
```
Print the left sides of the faces (on our right as we see them). These consist of the string `ʖ ͡°)` repeated up to twice, and then that string without the first two characters repeated the remaining number of times.
```
←⭆θ✂ʖ͜ °͡ (∧‹¹ι³
```
Print the right sides of the faces (on our left as we see them). These consist of the (reversed) string `ʖ͜ °͡ (` repeated up to twice, and then that string without the first two characters repeated the remaining number of times.
The more observant among you will have noticed that the middle face has its nose generated twice which is why I'm printing in such a way that they overlap.
