Line 4:
:Yep, The New York Times seems to have got the ''exact'' details of the competition wrong. I was wondering why my maxima were under 0.55 so quickly when the NYT mentions n>2**31. See [http://www.jstor.org/stable/2324028 here], which agrees with [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hofstadter-Conway10000-DollarSequence.html this]. Does the draft status of the task allow me to change its goals with impunity ;-)<br>

==Mallows' Number===
According to [http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hofstadter-Conway10000-DollarSequence.html Mathworld], the correct number is 1489, yet some of the entries are giving different results. Shouldn't they be marked as incorrect?
