Please note: This "assignment" use to be titled "Weights." After thinking about the problem I have completely revised the exercise and am now calling it "Ratios." I apologize for the mid-course correction. This should be clearer and easier to program. I expect Python has a builtin sort method so you shouldn't have to reinvent that wheel.

yofx.org posted a problem on 4/6/10 which involves determining which exercise problems should be covered in a review session based on statistics gathered by MyMathLab courseware. The data is provided in a spreadsheet.

Here is the April "assignment" for the "not just tiny-c Programming Group:" Design, code and test a Python program which reads the column data and computes and prints in descending order the exercises to review.

Please see http://primepuzzle.com/tunxis/mml.data.html for details. The quiz question data your program should read and a formula which converts the data into a measure of the need to review the quiz question are given here.
