How can we compress the integer vector into less than 11 characters? Raul has previously shown amazing tricks. With unicode, if U stands for a character vector that probably won't pass well through email but can be typed gives 25 characters. Absolute value and minimum crossed my mind as part of a solution. I didn't think to use i: . 18 characters---wow. Nice work to find the function to graph Marshall.

   U =: 4 u:32 32 80 136 260 1539 260 136 80 32 32
   ' *'{~#:3 u:U  NB. with quotes, 25 characters

   #U
11
