Hmm... so, if I were to do: @x = map int(rand(6)), 1..3; @[EMAIL PROTECTED] = "a" .. "e"; print @a.length; Then, if the three integers in @x are consecutive, @a grows, but otherwise it doesn't? -- $a=24;split//,240513;s/\B/ => /for@@=qw(ac ab bc ba cb ca );{push(@b,$a),($a-=6)^=1 for 2..$a/6x--$|;print "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]\n";((6<=($a-=6))?$a+=$_[$a%6]-$a%6:($a=pop @b))&&redo;}
