Hunting UVA Problems!

UVA online-judge is a good place to practice "problem solving" skills. I enjoy solving problem from this site since high school. At that time, I wanted to solve as many problems as possible, by solving easy problems first. The process of finding next easy problems were manual and tedious task: I manually copy the HTML from the UVA's EventRanklist for particular volume I want to solve and then sort it descendingly by number of accepted. Eventhough number of accepted for a particular problem doesn't mean that the problem is easy, but I still use that to "roughly" determine the difficulty of the problem. Using this technique I have a list of problem sorted by the "easiest" problem on that volume, then I can start solving the problems using that list. Fortunately now I have this script which helps me do the whole thing and present the list automatically :) By creating this script, I can help those of you who had the same thought in generating the same list :)
