basically create a program with a dictionary of father - son pairs and
allow the user to add, replace and delete pairs. Ive done that without any
problems but ive been giving another challenge where I have to improve the
previous program by adding a choice that lets the user enter a name and get
back a grandfather. The program should still only use one dictionary of
father-son pairs and finally I have to make sure to include several
generations in your dictionary so that a match can be found. Im not sure I
fully understand the task because surely its only possible to have one key
and one value per pair but the challenge seems to want me to have a key
(for the father), a value (for the son) and then something else (for the
grandfather). Is this actually possible? Or am I just misinterpreting the
challenge?

I don't think the task is asking you to modify the exisiting dictionary and
that its aim is to have you modify the way you search the dictionary.
