Yeah, I read the whole thread for this level and even posted a question, but the forums are pretty dead. Not only that, but I'm starting to get the feeling that these challenges are going to require a little more programming expertise than I have, because all of the 'hints' are still too vague for me. Like I said in my post on the hints forum, I really enjoy figuring out how to use Python to solve the puzzles, but it's not very fun when I don't know *what* to do in the first place, and I think knowing what to do has a lot to do with how experienced you are with certain CS subjects and how quickly you can identify the problem and a possible solution. All I see is huge bunch of string characters with no idea what to do with it to extract any kind of information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
