Granted, the answer is ambiguous, as 0 1 0 1 etc. would qualify just as well, but nonethteless 0 0 1 1 is the "obvious" answer, derived from a unary representation. I's quite surprised to find out that all 4 of the implementations I have access to returned 0 0 0 0 . What gives? -- Neta Amit U of Minnesota CSci Arpanet: amit@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu
