I should have actually let Python figure it.  Instead I knocked off one
because the interval is half-open, and another because it starts at 3. 
Then I checked it by subtracting the first from the last and dividing by
2  ( (7999-3)/2 ), but then made the stupid mistake of not adding one
because my interval WAS closed.
