Please, you are he obnoxious, so fuck off or go learn about reformulation of problems. Every number has an infinite number of arithmetical solutions. So every number do has a shortest arithmetical encoding. And that is not the hard part to figure out, the hard part is to find a generic arithmetic encoding. I am not sure if it is just stupidness or laziness that prevent you from seeing that 4^8=65536. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
