Did you read the documentation for the `input` function?

In Python 2, `input` should be avoided, because it evaluates whatever the user
types. Watch this:

py> answer = input('type a number ')
type a number 'abcdefg'.find('e')
py> print answer
4


What you should use is `raw_input`, but remember that it returns a string, not a
number, so if you want a number you have to call int() on the results.
