I guess my code could get there in about a day if I ran it on a faster machine. This box has a 1.66 GHz low power AMD embedded processor and took just under 4 hours for the above. I don't really see a way of getting any significant speed-ups over my simple code, as it's inherently a digit-by-digit operation. Phil -- We are no longer hunters and nomads. No longer awed and frightened, as we have gained some understanding of the world in which we live. As such, we can cast aside childish remnants from the dawn of our civilization. -- NotSanguine on SoylentNews, after Eugen Weber in /The Western Tradition/
