Again let me say that what is easy for you to figure out may be an
impossibilty for someone with lesser abilities than your own. You
have an university education, some programming abilities, and your
grasp of math is on orders better than my own. This puts you in an
enviable position that not every user can acheive even with the best
of intentions. I am also not advocating adding "every" pattern written
but some of the more trick patterns that are developed would make
welcome additions to the program barring any problems with breaking
an existing function.
