the above scenario reminds me of college...I totally failed an assignment because I couldn't figure out how to do it within the guidelines, and ended up solving it by making up a 3 dimensional array with pointers as opposed to using linked lists w/pointers...it worked, but not even a marginally passing grade..now, I understand the goal of a class being to teach you certain things...but let's face it, in real life the REAL meaning of it all is 'does it work?'
