		<description><![CDATA[Computer programming and operating system pioneer, Dennis Ritchie passed away from our world on 12 October 2011. I&#8217;m a little disappointed at the relative silence in the mainstream media about this, compared to the passing of Steve Jobs (no disrespect to Jobs, whose accolades were fully deserved). Ritchie&#8217;s work has influenced absolutely everybody who has [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=samjh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10208264&amp;post=362&amp;subd=samjh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It&#8217;s a nice book which feeds bits of Ruby in bite-sized chunks. But that&#8217;s not what this post is for. One bit of the book mentioned Fibonacci numbers, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=samjh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10208264&amp;post=325&amp;subd=samjh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

This one is for Level 3, which can be found at http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/equality.html. Like Level 2, this challenge is concerned with regular expressions.

The solution is merely to do that to the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=samjh.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10208264&amp;post=292&amp;subd=samjh&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
