You could have had even less code here: <pre class='brush: python'>checkio = { ... # your wonderful dict }.get </pre> ;-) (I know that's not your main point, but it is a point: code is practically nonexistent here.) BTW, see my solution as an antithesis to this: maximizing code, minimizing data. :-)

My <a href="http://www.checkio.org/mission/periodic-table/publications/macfreek/python-3/classes-and-lookups-for-exceptions/">original solution</a> had two classes and multiple dicts to handle exceptions and what-not. But I have a habit of over-engineering solutions. As for <a href="http://www.checkio.org/mission/periodic-table/publications/veky/python-3/aperiodic/">your solution</a>: whoa. I'm impressed and repulsed at the same time :). Makes me wonder how you come up with gooblygook like that :)
