Python script to detect new CE grand quiz question
While waiting for today's CE grand quiz question - reloading, and reloading - I wrote a python script to automate the process 😉
Here is it:
Note the parts in green:
-------------------------
* The second one is the number of seconds between subsequent checks for the CE page
* The first one is a system command which you can use to perform an alerting action
(Here I gave the command to run my Xion music player, which will start playing the song the moment it opens. Works as a pretty good alert!)
Change it with your own values

import urllib2, urllib, re, time, os
qnum = raw_input("Enter the upcoming question's number: ")
while(True):
if re.search("""Grand Quiz Question #"""+qnum, urllib2.urlopen('https://www.crazyengineers.com/forum/ce-quiz-puzzles-mathematics/').read())!= None:
os.system("[COLOR=#008000]D:\installed\Xion\Xion.exe[/COLOR]")
break
time.sleep([COLOR=#008000]10[/COLOR])
Run the code, enter the question number you are waiting for, and when the question appears, the script performs an alerting action.Note the parts in green:
