Maybe.  Still, the thread length limit dampened my enthusiasm enough
that I did not take on any more problems.  After all, one should not
discuss the solution elsewhere, one could not discuss the solution
there; that was not very attractive.

No, you used a completely different approach.  However, given that
f(9999) does not fit in 64 bits, a straightforward solution will have
that problem.
