I'm facing the following problem: """ In a city of towerblocks, Spiderman can “cover” all the towers by connecting the first tower with a spider-thread to the top of a later tower and then to a next tower and then to yet another tower until he reaches the end of the city. Threads are straight lines and cannot intersect towers. Your task is to write a program that finds the minimal number of threads to cover all the towers. The list of towers is given as a list of single digits indicating their height.
-Example: List of towers: 1 5 3 7 2 5 2 Output: 4 """ I'm not sure how a 'towerblock' could be defined. How square does a shape have to be to qualify as a towerblock? Any help on solving this problem? Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
