I thought it was new excersize and the OP by error targeted it here, not
into Tutor list ;-)
Look:
>>> # September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2+5+4=11
>>> import time
>>> tt = (2001, 9, 11, 8, 40, 0, -1, -1, -1)
>>> reduce(lambda x, y: x+y,
... map(int, str(time.gmtime(time.mktime(tt))[-2])), 0)

Very convincing, isn't it?
In our city there is a person who regularly put calculations like
the above on the walls and newspaper-stands. Probably, this is
some sort of mental disorder, because calculations are done in
base 10. ;-)
Probably, I am mentally disordered too, because every time
I hear the news, I wonder how l aden got into /bin.
Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
