Congratulations! You Won! Jeff Schwab's recursive approach is also cool but this is the most interesting abuse of integer division I have seen. I don't think any of the variants are readable at a first glance, but with a comment it should be ok. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
