Someone's gonna explain these, right?  Man, I love learning this kinda stuff. 
 Last "hole", I learned about pop vs. shift (saving two strokes) and after 
seeing this e-mail and playing around with Perl, I see that "-l" will take 
care of the newline stuff for me (so I don't have to add "$_\n" to my print 
statements [6 strokes there]).

Is that #*1.11%10 a number theory to get to the same number?  How did someone 
recognize that pattern? (my advanced calculus/comb math being a lil' rusty)  
What is \G ... $&?  Gotta dig out my Camel book again. ;)

Can't wait 'til next month!  Great job Dave & Jerome for managing this!

Cheers,

Jason
