I thought it would be easy to find a hack for that, but to my astonishment there weren't 200 million solutions to this problem out there. There were 0 (at least I turned up none in about 10 minutes of searching). It seems like an interesting problem to me, but I'm too lazy and stupid to solve it :-). Have at it...

It seems like an interesting problem to me, but I’m too lazy and stupid to solve it :-) . Have at it…

It touches on many aspects of programming including parsing simple data files, formatting output, looping, recursion, etc. It's hard enough to be fun, but easy enough for a learning exercise.
