Careful there, bud. 5/6 might not give you the value you're expecting it to, depending on the version of Python you're using. If you're on Python 2.x, you'll want to use "from __future__ import division", or to specify 5 and 6 as floats, i.e., 5.0/6.0. (And people claim 5/6 == 0 is the "obvious" result....)
