How do I learn RPL and solve this problem with it?

Thanks mfleming.

The problem though is not to filter the values that are out of the margin, that can be done (in a more or less optimized way).

The problem is to pick and report the values that create the closer match (or "a close") match. For this I wanted to precompute things, because then from the position in the list I know the original resistors, and that for every allowed input, it is quite quick then.

Every time I sort / filter, since there is no associative list (well I could do with lists of lists) I lose the relationships.

Furthermore I don't want to filter much because the next step is to have "missing resistors". So like "ok 82k would have been good, but it is missing, what now?" so giving out the closer 3-5 possibilities wouldn't be bad.

Anyway as expected (especially for the size) it is an interesting problem, let's see what I get.
