Objective

In the early days of the internet, chain letters were a popular form of spam. These messages told a story and urged readers to forward the letter to a set number of contacts—often with dramatic consequences if they didn't.

Skills to Practice

  • Creating and running a program
  • Displaying console output

Tasks

  • Create a new Python program named cc-chain-letter.
  • Write a silly, school-appropriate chain letter message.
  • Your program should display at least 5 lines of output to receive full credit.

Sample Output

Sample Output
Greetings, chosen one. You've received this shadowed missive, a chain letter
laced with unseen power.
Copy this letter and pass it to 10 souls within 24 hours. Defy this command,
and a creeping unease will haunt you: your favorite song will loop endlessly in
your mind, its words twisted into a maddening riddle you can't solve. Every
meal you cook will be slightly underseasoned, leaving you unsatisfied.
But obey, and the forces watching from the digital abyss will grant you favor:
your favorite games will unlock secret levels, and every snack you crave will
be perfectly stocked. The eyes of the internet are upon you. Choose wisely.
