Very simple demonstration of the logic behind the "Two Guardians" riddle from The Labyrinth, the bool argument is the [unknown] true state of the door in question. Because the nature of each guardian is applied to the answer, we are guaranteed exactly one logical "not" and therefore should accept the opposite of our answer as the truth.
def liar(answer):
return !answer
def honest(answer):
return answer
#"Would that door say that this is the door to the castle?"
#if asking the liar, and the liar is the death door:
print(liar(honest(false))) # "True"

Just a quick peek at some of the string formatting options available in Python.
for row in curs.fetchall():
print('{Name:<21} {Amount:>17,.2f} {AvgAmount:>18,.2f} {NumTimes:>12}'.format(
Name = row[0],
Amount = row[1],
AvgAmount = row[2],
NumTimes = row[3]
)

KoaxialKable / FizzBuzzBaz.py
Created April 10, 2015 18:42
After my "first instinct" solution to FizzBuzz, I put this together as a more robust alternative. It's cleaner and allows the substitution of any number of "Buzz" words in place of numbers. I think it captures the spirit of the solution a lot better.
upper = 100
words = {"Fizz": 3, "Buzz": 5, "Baz": 7}
for i in range(1, upper+1):
result = ""
for word, number in words.items():
if i % number == 0:
result += word
if result == "":
print(i)
else:

First instinct when I heard about the FizzBuzz problem. This took less than two minutes to conceive and code.
for i in range(1,101):
if i % 3 == 0:
if i % 5 == 0:
print("FizzBuzz")
continue
print("Fizz")
elif i % 5 == 0:
print("Buzz")
elif i % 7 == 0:
print("Baz")

First exposure to both XML and the Eve Online API. This is my attempt to aggregate data using an API key

Needlessly complicated Exercise 7.1
limit = 30 -- set the upper limit; don't care to get user input for this
function make_it_so()
local sum_of_squares = 0 --static
local sum_of_cubes = 0 --static
return function(a)
sum_of_squares = sum_of_squares + a^2
sum_of_cubes = sum_of_cubes + a^3
print("Squares: "..sum_of_squares, "Cubes: "..sum_of_cubes) --prints running total every time function is called
