A couple of month ago the german linux magazin asked known guru's of a few different programming languages to solve a little programming task in their preferred language. In the article readers were encouraged to contribute their solution of the task and the redaktion would look them over, pick a few subjective winners and publish an article on the results.

I decided to have a shot at it using my language of choice, Python. Needless to say I didn't get a pick for the article.
