izmeina: creepy spooky old house infested with crawling critters (Haunted house)

There's a reason I called it a 'rather long To Do list' and that's because it's not getting done.
Some one in the mathematical thinking class had mentioned Project Euler. Took a peek and it looked like a tempting puzzle palace with zillions of rooms. Also randomly clicked on some of the solutions to see that Python was a very popular tool used to solve them.

It just goes to show the power of an external deadline. Had to dump this Python class back in September 2012 due to dramas with a certain old toad. But that was not before downloading all the videos.
But do you think that this serpent looked at a single one of them in all that time before this class started? Not once?

So it would be crazy not to make the most of the new set of external deadlines this time around. The Memory miniproject is due at midday tomorrow but I will not be slaving over a hot keyboard at 6 in the morning this time or staying up until 2am like last night. I've well and truly slammed into the brick wall on this project. Simply cannot think of a way to link the list of shuffled cards with the Boolean list representing their positions. Without that connection, the rest of the steps are at a dead end.
Will be going to a nano plot storming session with a bunch of folks tomorrow and need the little green cells to be in full working order.

Will keep you posted on the boxing match. I suspect our mad monk is going to chicken out.
