Thanks for posting. This was fun! Towards the end it gets really hard. Merry Christmas!

Towards the end?! I can't answer ANY of the questions!

You're not expected to know the answers without doing research. https://britbrief.co.uk/education/schools/king-williams-coll...

In the modern era it is acknowledged that people will use online search engines to find the answers but hopefully we all learn something on the way

Hey we have the same tree! (()(()((())((())(()())))))

Mine looks weird but it's decorated:

    @star
    @lights
    @balls
    def christmas_tree():
        n1 = Node()
        n2 = Node()
        n3 = Node()
        n4 = Node()
        n5 = Node()
        n6 = Node()
        n7 = Node()
        n8  = Node(n1, None)
        n9  = Node(n2, n3)
        n10 = Node(n4, n5)
        n11 = Node(n8, n9)
        n12 = Node(n6, n7)
        n13 = Node(None, n11)
        n14 = Node(None, n12)
        return Node(n13, n14)

    christmas_tree()

Christmas is always a very hard time of year for some people, if you are struggling, just know you are not forgotten and I hope you can still have yourself a Merry little Christmas time. <3

Just because old ASCII and ANSI art is often signed by the author, which is something fun I appreciate, see also: https://oldcompcz.github.io/jgs/joan_stark/xmas.html#treewit... And of course, the BBS Documentary: Artscene episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQrBbm5ZMlo&list=PL7nj3G6Jpv...

This guy was prolific! Wow

Not a guy ;)
