Then this should be easy for you: http://marknelson.us/2012/10/09/the-random-compression-challenge-turns-ten/ All you need to do is compress this file: http://marknelson.us/attachments/million-digit-challenge/AMillionRandomDigits.bin to less than 415241 bytes, and you can win $100.

If you're claiming 352,954 *bytes*, not kb, I invite you to explain why you have not collected Mark Nelson's $100 prize, and untold fame and glory; failing which, your credibility will evaporate. -- To email me, substitute nowhere->runbox, invalid->com. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
