bill can you tell where mine is failing? it passes david's tests plus
the one avi's missed --which your test dosn't seem to catch. would like
to fix mine though if there's a bug.

these times are very interesting though. how did david's gain so much
speed? on smaller probs it was the slowest. very interesting. just goes
to show...
