I hadn't thought of that one, but agreed, that's also plausible, and it results in an answer of 4. It's a stronger contender than the one I posited, because the wording implies that there are multiple ways to do it and you have to pick/find the best. Seems to me the problem's a little under-specified, tbh. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
