First of all, if you post something to the list like this, |
| 12 |
put OT for off topic. Second of all, if you make *ANY* attempt |
| 13 |
to solve this on your own, you *might* get some programming |
| 14 |
tips, depending on which language you use. Personally, I'd just |
| 15 |
use C. |

Most important of all, the solution is trivial. Look at your last |
| 19 |
stated 'boundary condition', and get your head out of programming |
| 20 |
and think logically........ |
