I posted my Tetris puzzle and had to go away for a while (family dramas -- not jail!) so sorry for not writing it up .. hopefully I get around to it sometime soon. My thoughts on the 'easy' vs 'hard' puzzles is that they're more about mathematics than about perl. I imagine that we should think more about difficult and easy perl tasks than math tasks. An perl task would be more like: Sort a list of names in the same way the phonebook does. Rather than: Implement Eulers second theory of circle geometry in perl. Cheers! Rick
