Hi Chris,

You can simplify the problem a bit by breaking it into smaller pieces.


Given a list, such as:

    [(1423, 2637),(6457, 8345),(9086, 10100),(12304, 15666)]

can you write a function that takes that, and produces a new list of the
in-betweens?

    [(2637, 6457), (8345, 9086), (10100, 12304)]


Good luck!
