Heh, that was my entry. I thought the lookup tables were fair
because they contained only information that would be immediately
apparent to a /human/ solving the problem. But it is true, they
just made the code uglier and others didn't do any such thing
(and I included the code for generating them just in case you
didn't like them :-)
