How many values of 61 are there? > However, X itself has 25 digits, so at some point I really wanted a > phrase that is shorter than that. 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. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
