It is no shame to admit that this person is currently unable to make significant progress in solving Programming Challenge 16.12. As there is no way of telling how much longer it will take a decision had to be made. Instead of investing all energy into this one project, while there are still five chapters left to work through and many more Challenges waiting to be solved, this person has decided to continue on to the next chapter for now.
Numerous possibilites were taken into consideration to determine what happens with Programming Challenge 16.12 in the meantime. For now the work on it will continue on the side. If it isn't taking away time and energy from the learning process, it will be kept up, until the problem is solved. Otherwise it will have to wait until the end of the book has been reached. This is for the reason that, since the newest revision of this book has some additional Programming Challenges in earlier chapters, solutions for these Challenges may also find their way to this blog. It is some additional exercise, so it would fit in well to come back to this as yet unsolved Challenge by that time.
For now, it is time to keep on learning, to make some progress, and to hopefully be able to finish this one Challenge soon. As always it is a pleasure to thank all visitors for the continued interest in this person's humble blog, a special pleasure to thank my followers for subscribing! To my fellow students, who may not have the luxury to move on, for whom there are grades at stake if they do not manage to solve a problem in time, don't despair and keep giving your best. When you are ready, get back to it and work on a solution in your own time, then solve it. Persistence is key!
