Hi Andrew,
I'm sure the exercises at the end of the each chapters are there for you to
attempt. Asking for help here without attempting it is not the best way to
learn.
If however, you've tried something - and it didn't work, by all means ask
for help.

Thereis adfference between "works properly" (ie does what it should) and

You need to read up a bit more on boolean expressions

h='heads'
t='tails'

Chris,
Thanks for your well-written reply. Your analogy to the
complexities of other special methods is well noted. I'll accept
the "small price for flexibility" that you note, if necessary.
However, I still desire a cleaner solution.

Yesterday, I posted a question to python-list involving custom
deepcopies in an inheritance hierarchy. I haven't received any
responses, so I thought I'd cross-post to see if anyone on tutor
