Looks good to me

Same here. Sooo... Some comments on the code.
Thanks. I seem to have misunderstood what the original coder had
intended. I suppose the above output is making sense after all.

OK, at this point I give up, this is way too complicated for what you
are doing.
I guess this is exactly why I have been struggling to understand some of
the logic in the original code! I like your idea of sets of tuples for
input and solution - I'll play around with the idea. Also, I think I
want to alter the random initialisation - I don't like the way in which
four separate random digits each with a range of only six are
generated. I think generating a four digit number and splitting the
digits will be a better option. As you mention, the use of colours in
the original code is a distraction - I think that is the reason for
limiting the digits to numbers between 1 and 6 - simply based on the old
board-game. There's no other logical reason so I'll do away with that
concept.
Thanks again for your time. I'm GOING to learn to code Python! I used
to code in C many years ago and never made the jump to C++, but Python
has much nicer features for a novice. Incidentally, if I re-code the
example, should I alter it to Python3 syntax while I'm at it? Is there
any good reason to move away from Python2?
Kind regards, Barry.
