salutations,

thank you for the answer, but we are not sure we understood what you meant in the penultimate line of your answer.

EDIT (Mar 31): in the expression between parenthesis ("In case you'd like to have the crack at it yourself").

    Penultimate, meaning second to last? 
    Online Etymology Dictionary 

penultimate  (adj.)
1677, from earlier penultima (n.) "the next to the last syllable of a 
+word or verse," from fem. of L. adj. penultimus "next-to-last," from 
+pæne "almost" + ultimus "final."

    So "say the word and Ill post it" was unclear???

    If thats what you you are referring to than I meant that if you wanted the code that solves your problem, Id give it to you if you said so. I just didnt want to spoil the fun (the description of the code in the first few paragraphs is more than enough to solve it in under an hour)

    edit (april 01):
    regarding "to have a crack at it", that is both american and australian slang meaning "to try something". You can see the urban dictionary definition. Other tagged definitions in the urban dictionary include:

        give it a go
        have a try
        jump right in
        have a go
        to try
