How about:

           >  !.1e_33
        >!.1.0000000000000001e_33

           >"0!.1e_33
        |domain error
        |       >"0!.1e_33

This is "the same" as my >/0$a: solution. The question is do solutions that exploit the difference between the primitive > and the derived entity >"0 count? That is, can I stand upon J's self-knowledge, or does that fall loosely under the rubrik "special code"? If not, could the challenge be phrased as

   Produce an expression in which the noun result of:

           [x]  f"0   y

   differs from the noun result of:

           [x]  f"0"0 y

   for some noun(s) [x] y  and all verbs  f  ,
   in a way guarunteed by the Dictionary of J,
   excluding the appendicies and entries for  !:  ?
