I'm not sure that's correct. Wouldn't 110110110110110110110101010 be better? I haven't put any real effort into optimizing this, so I'm sure it's not the best, but I'm pretty sure it's better than Fred's. Fred could rebut me by playing Maximizer and permuting it to something bigger than his example. On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 3:49 AM, Fred lunnon <fred.lunnon@gmail.com> wrote:

or 6*(8^8 - 1)/(8-1) - 2 = 14380468 in decimal.
Uh --- why is that hard? WFL
