Hmm... It worked fine for me. I'm using python 2.4.1 on windows XP. I didn't see anything particularly wrong with the program that might cause the problem you are referring to. So I'm afraid I can't help much. Maybe someone with 2.3 can reproduce it? BTW, Nice puzzle, much harder than it looks. Cheers, Ron -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
