 Hang on, it gets harder from here.
 
-(A quick note...If you know all this already and are getting bored...CONGRATULATIONS! Here's a '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x94yTpv0T1k link]''' to some cute corgi puppy videos as your reward. Then, come back and dive into a later section. This is all self-paced.)

+(A quick note:  If you know all this already and are getting bored...CONGRATULATIONS!  Here's '''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x94yTpv0T1k some cute corgi puppy videos]''' as your reward. Then, come back and dive into a later section. This is all self-paced.   Regardless, I recommend you do this set of lessons if you haven't programmed in Python 3 before because we build on it later and you'll be lost.  If you have programmed in Python 3 before, you can just skip to the Final Exam at the end, show your stuff, and help your teammates.)

 We'll be starting with a programming language called [https://www.python.org/ Python], specifically Python 3.  There are a lot of programming languages.  Some are created because they're better for solving certain problems, others because people are bored and want to try something new.  Python has been around for a while, and its pretty popular because its easy to use.  The team uses Java to control the robot but that language is a little trickier.  We'll get to that one later once you get a handle on the basics.

- * Feeling like you got this?  Fine:  ''Create a program that prints random fortune cookie sayings.'''
- * Randomly build the sayingss from at least three different lists of nouns and verb phrases.  Make the random sayings sound suitably cryptic and wise.
- * The program should prompt the user for the number of sayings they want output, validate that it is indeed a number, and print out that many.
- * Use functions and control structures to make the code manageable. Its best if you work in pairs for this exercise.
- * If you need help, refer to this lesson, the [[https://docs.python.org/3/index.html | Official Python 3 Documentation]], and don't hesitate to ask the mentors.
