[Tutor] UnboundLocalError and Break

[Luke Paireepinart]

If your code's more than 10 lines long or so,  put it on pastebin.com and
send us the link rather than inlining the whole thing.  You could also send
it as an attachment.Your formatting is all screwed up and I can't read the
code at all, but I have an idea about your error.
