James, given the way the quiz is currently formulated, I do realize  
_you_ would never dump on a turtle graphics solution. However, I  
wonder whether or not the quiz author would welcome such a solution.  
I suspect he thinks providing ASCII output is an integral part of his  
quiz. I seek clarification because I think the quiz author's point of  
view should be respected.
