How many values of 61 are there?

Do you accept floating point answers?

Anyways, I did note that my j expression (which only finds the
answer for one value of 61, because I was not aware of any
other values of 61) was exactly the same length as the literal
answer with an x appended.  A floating point answer would,
of course, be shorter.
