Hi Paul,

Many thanks for your feedback and your example of good Python style.

Even though the challenge is opened to any language practitioner, I
must confess that I personally prefer Python and that languages like
Python and Ruby are likely to be the most effective to solve the
riddles.

Don't hesitate to report any issue you could find.

Enjoy. Cheers. Thierry
