Eheh... I guess it was too much to read back, and it was my fault for not updating the info in the proper places, , but I'd already found that... Check my last post on the previous thread.
Using python, I found the 466th one that perl "missed" and the python script took only 21 minutes instead of the 6 hours of the perl version...
That's why I added the 3388 "out of order" in my test program: didn't feel like inserting it into it's "numerical" place and reformating all the lines...
{edit} Also, about the parenthesis, this is the current status (for the floating point version):
code:
; Parentheses: 5 needed combinations
; abcd
; (ab)(cd)
; a(bcd)
; (abc)d
; 0 need (ab)cd \
; 0 need a(bc)d - 1 solution (1169) needs any one of these!
; 0 need ab(cd) /
; ------------------
; 1 need (abc)d
; ------------------
; 3 need a(bcd)
; 13 need (ab)(cd)
{/edit}
