[Tutor] n.isalnum() is failing

[Terry]

Ha Ha Ha  It appears I was having a very blond day.

For some reason, I was mentally verbalizing to myself, each time I
looked at x.isalnum(), "X  IS-ALL-NUMBERS", 
instead of "X  IS-Alpha-Numeric".  I remember thinking......if one can
call it that....., "I wonder why x.isdigit() 
is singular for only one digit????.......why couldn't they have made it
plural and singular? (It might help to realize the 
example I was looking at for x.digit() showed it only operating on one
digit. But then, one must remember that 
blond is sometimes really blond.....once it starts.

And you are sooo right, I need to fix the leap() portion of the program.

Thanks!  It will be nice to get back to the program without stubbornly
trying to coerce or trick poor isalnum() into 
doing what it can't do.
