Shouldn't that be: `grep { /$bird/ } @hand ) == 2 * ( grep { /$bird/ } @bush )` [download] ? Or am I just not parsing it right? (highly likely ;) ---------- My cow-orkers were talking in punctuation the other day. What disturbed me most was that I understood it.	[reply] [d/l]

Update:Why not join the Perl Quiz of the Week mailing list? And sorry to spoil the fun. You shouldn't have included the answer in your post. Viewing the page source or highlighting the black block reveals it ;-) Not a hard one anyway ;-) Walking the road to enlightenment... I found a penguin and a camel on the way..... Fancy a yourname@perl.me.uk? Just ask!!!	[reply]

Does `perl-qotw` get any traffic anymore? The webpage says the last quiz was in October, 2004.	[reply] [d/l]

The last official PQOTW was in May 2005--the archives at http://perl.plover.com/~alias/list.cgi/1/ have the details. The list is faltering a bit; I'd run another QOTW but my 8-week-old daughter is consuming the few tuits I have remaining. There's nothing stopping you (or anyone) from joining the list and proposing (and hopefully managing) a QOTW. You may want to read this to get started.	[reply]

Well, the question(s) are the sentences with the question marks at the end.... :-)	[reply]

arguably, this translates to <Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread> , which doesn't ring the same bell (it's not covering).. a literal translation of our phrase could be //, which, on the other hand, sucks as a riddle... </obnoxious>	[reply]
