Sorry, in writing down the problem and the corresponding solution, I made a mistake. It's evident, but anyway...
Wrong: > # ab * cb = dab 35 * 26 = 936 > # + + - + + - > # ifd + chg = eaf 179 + 258 = 437 > # --------------- --------------- > # cih + cge = edd 215 + 284 = 499 Correct: # ab * cb = dab 36 * 26 = 936 # + + - + + - # ifd + chg = eaf 179 + 258 = 437 # --------------- --------------- # cih + cge = edd 215 + 284 = 499 (wrong 35 correct 36) Bye. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
