I missed an obvious clue, which I realised when I found <a href="http://intelligentgeek.blogspot.com/2006/03/python-challenge-5-peak-hell-peck-hell.html">this solution</a>.</p> <p>After a suggestion from SteveA in the comments to my last post, I've been working on the <a href="http://pythonchallenge.com/">Python Challenge</a>. I was quite pleased with myself for the first 4 levels, which I finished with a little bit of huffing and puffing (for example, on level 3, I was getting the right matches, but not doing the right thing with them to get the next <span class="caps">URL</span>). Level 5 is an utter pig. I've got so far as unpickling the data, but then I'm not 100% sure what to do with it next. It's a list of lists of tuples, which presumably map onto some data structure, but I'm not sure what. I will persist. It's pretty good fun, though I think it is perhaps overly cryptic. I think there should be <em>slightly</em> more clues about what to do.</p> http://www.townx.org/blog/elliot/python-challenge#comments tech Wed, 15 Aug 2007 16:24:31 -0500 elliot 662 at http://www.townx.org
