Hmm, it is very interesting to see all of your approaches; for example, I wouldn't have thought to look for the only question mark in there and to use that as a marker!

Well, to conclude this mini-challenge here is what I was thinking of when constructing the challenge:

PHP Code:


			
$rhyme = "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers;

A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked;

If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,

Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

This is the line that needs to be removed!";



echo preg_replace('/.*\z/', '', $rhyme);

Guess I have an unhealthy predilection for regular expressions.

So who wants to create the next mini-challenge?
