Re^2: Odd Ball Challenge

jcoxen,
Here's my solution. Is this the kind of thing you had in mind?

Not what I had in mind. See my response to kaif for details. The challenge is to write a solution-generator. For a previous example of such a challenge - see Challenge: Setting Sun Puzzle

Cheers - L~R

Yeah, I've been following the thread and had figured out on my own that I was off base. Interesting puzzle. I can figure out a solution but trying to duplicate the steps my brain took to solve this and then translating those steps into Perl is beyond me. Actually, trying to figure out how (or if) my brain works is more than enough challenge for anyone. Anyway, I'll be interested to find out if anyone manages to solve this one - and if their program comes up with the same solution I did. Jack	[reply]
