Yes, I did get it down. I'm not convinced 120 is the minimum... I feel
like another character or two might be possible somehow, but I haven't
figured anything out. The details: 2 lines, only uses the functions
''.join, int, and ord, plus some operators and loops, and 27 total
characters of string literal. Python gives me a warning when I run it,
but it works.
