I don't have the rules with me (I'm at work now), but I thought that there
has to be an even # (or 0) of each vowel separately. Is that right?
So if the word was:
bane
it would pass this program (if it was on an even line), but not the rules
since there's an odd # of a's and e's (again, as I understand them and recall
from memory).
I'm not sure if I like the "present", though ... I'm a beginner and had the
problem worked out (at a mighty 509 strokes ;) - we're playing double-par
limit, right? ;)) and was at the point now where I was looking to simplify.
While impressed with this code, I feel frustrated that I'll never be able to
match that (w/o copying it)... :(
