Glad to hear it. The purists can be such snobs sometimes ;)

It all depends on how stuck I get. I found myself stumped for hours
yesterday on a single problem. I finally found the solution by analyzing
the problem carefully, but now I need the implementation... I ended up
learning the basics of Coordinate Geometry to figure out the problem,
since I was never taught higher math in school... I can make a line and
find the y-intercept, but now I need to find it for three dimensions. If
I take it a step at a time, the pieces should fall into place like they
did for rounded_lsweep.
