lol, sorry. I replied with a quick answer, then at the last second
changed the post to handle an arbitrary length of digits. For some
reason, counting the number digits jumped into my mind first, and
apparently I have found the least best algorithm for solving this
particular problem. Is there a prize for most obsfucated solution?

Cheers,
bob

PS changing a post at the last second is always a bad idea.
PPS 'least best' sounds better than 'worst', imho.
