Yi Cao breaks 13000!

Yi Cao loves a challenge.

It took a few extra weeks worth of work, but Yi Cao is reporting in the newsgroup that he broke the 13000 barrier. You may recall that Alan Chalker had suggested such a thing might well be impossible. Yi Cao is just the sort of person to find out if it couldn’t be done.

It could. Nice work!

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
