    This was my weekend project, which doubled as an introduction to the world of Facebook bots and node.js. I open sourced it: https://github.com/zchr/taketen . I'd love any feedback!…

    That's how it initially was. But I have now made it so that, as you say, it first checks to see if it's a multiple of 7. If it's a multiple of both 7 and 3 (regardless of whether o…

    Excellent idea. And it will provide a much faster way to gauge its accuracy as I adjust the script to accomodate more areas of information. I actually just started that book and so…
