several things.  </grin>  first, it was fun to compare (thanks) and find the old
"swings and roundabouts" adage confirmed.

it is pretty neat, the all-in-one macro.  pretty compact too.  (too small to
merit an include file </facetious-grin>)  not having a "mathematical brain" I
found your code "amazing" but not as "obvious" as the method/algorithm provided
by Wikipedia.  also, it comes at a cost.  when running each macro ~20k times (5
loops over 1-3999 range) the nested loops are a little more "expensive".


regards, jr.
