We don't do people's homework for them.

But, I'll give you a hint.  Forget about doing this in python.  Write 
down the steps you would take to do this problem with pencil and paper.  
That really is how you begin any programming problem; understanding the 
algorithm you need to execute.  The rest is, as Mozart said, just 
scribbling.
