in thread Creating a sub-list constrained by an average while maintaining maximum number of original elements

Thank you for this praise, but really it is what I was trained to do.

Yes, I am a lawyer (not a trained programmer) and as a lawyer we are trained to analyse a problem (most of the time based on incomplete or even wrong data), then synthesize a solution and present this solution using language (the dreaded "legalese").

It is not that different what a analyst / programmer does!

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
