Someone's gonna explain these, right? Man, I love learning this kinda stuff. Last "hole", I learned about pop vs. shift (saving two strokes) and after seeing this e-mail and playing around with Perl, I see that "-l" will take care of the newline stuff for me (so I don't have to add "$_\n" to my print statements [6 strokes there]).
Is that #*1.11%10 a number theory to get to the same number? How did someone recognize that pattern? (my advanced calculus/comb math being a lil' rusty) What is \G ... $&? Gotta dig out my Camel book again. ;) Can't wait 'til next month! Great job Dave & Jerome for managing this!
