It would be nice if there was a sub-comments section for each task called "Discuss your solution". My solution is nice and clean and doesn't involve creating a list like the official solution does. The whole thing is done in the file.ready while loop in 5 lines of code (not counting brackets). But we're not supposed to post solutions here. I'd like a place where we can share and compare how we did it. I think it would be an invaluable learning tool for a lot of people.

I flailed around with this one way too long because I didn't understand what ordinal meant. I was thinking it meant the first digit of the ASCII value of the number was 1, such as 1, 10-19 and 100-127. I now see that ordinal means the index position of the order in which character is read starting with 1, as in "first". What a waste of time.
