I thought the classic homework problem was to convert an Arabic numeral into a Roman numeral. Bonus points for correctly converting any number above 12 and/or copyright year from any old movie. Most students have seen Roman numerals on clocks (1-12). Maybe that's too hard for today's kids with digital clocks. Chris R. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
