Thanks for pointing that out. There was a transcription error from the web site; instead of 222+97*214+65*24+97, it should be 2^22+97*2^14+65*2^4+97. (The web site uses superscripts.) Note that it has long been known that the Scholz-Brauer inequality holds for any Hansen number, so that this is the first non-Hansen number is really Neill Clift's principle result. Franklin T.

From http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/achim/addition_chain.html :
In August 2005 Neill Clift reported to have confirmed the Scholz-Brauer inequality for all n<5784689 = 222+97*214+65*24+97. This number is also the smallest Non-Hansen number (also identified by Neill Clift in 2005 as such). ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
