challenge is that it makes them poke in Python's module library and
discover new things. It truly demonstrates the great power of Python's included 'batteries.'

are challenging even to experienced Python programmers. The first
few riddles are very easy, but it gradually becomes more and more
challenging. Many people reported that playing the challenge is highly
addictive and it is great fun.
