Finding a good problem is a wonderful thing.
A suduko solver seems like a good fit for a lispy language. :)
I was less interested in the "learning the language" issue than
Stewart's "do it all without a reference".
To my mind, the second task was actually a good test of the language.
The fact that Python was good enough that I remembered 98% of it, had to
test about 1%, and had to run grep on the installed Python codebase for
the last 1% ("argv" is in "sys" ... ah, right) is a good stress test.
Besides, I'm not interested in problems that fit a language well. I'm
interested in problems that *don't* fit the language well. That's the
test. You don't always know the form of the solution to a problem a
priori.
