I haven't been on AO for a while(shame on me) but i do visit from time to time. This test caught my eye and so I tried it out. Level 1 was a breeze...but 2 is a different story...I've read the posts regarding it, but I'm just not seeing it. Maybe I'm over-complicating things. I think the answer has something to do with the if/then statement. More specifically the way that the number 131 is stated. It's stated almost as if it's a string instead of an integer. Then again, that might be the type of input that the prompt takes. Anyway, I really want to figure these out, but I'd like a hint if I can get one. Thanks a bunch, and good luck with the higher levels! ^_^
