But trying to maintain 166 separate variables is going to be unwieldy,
especially if you are trying to maintain complex relationships -- you will
spend more time trying to code the logic keeping track of these things.
You will need to build up your data structures dynamically, I would think,
and perhaps even has some kind of persistant storage so you can recall
them again, if necessary.
