Having spent a good deal of time and effort, and not getting below 144
characters, I am now very eager to see how these shorter versions
work, particularly the 6  120-character solutions. I also expect that
someone (I'll certainly give it a try) will produce a yet shorter
version after the contest closes, based on the knowledge from the
winning solutions.
