[REBOL] Re: OT: Competition - Is this solvable

I didn't tried, but I think you could use the same algorithm used to convert
a decimal valu into binary.
Basically, you have a number to be converted (example 122).
These are the minimal needed steps:
binary number weight are (8 bits): 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
(Your numbers are (from upper to lowest): 15114,65 // 8747,39 // 6594,14 //
1457,90 // 981,75
Apply the standard conversion algorithm to get the bit to be set to "1".
Maybe you can do the same with your problem...
