<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, I'm an italian student, I'm trying to find the
shortest addition chain for 27782 (to calculate n^27782 with the fewest number
of multiplications). I found one addition chain of length 19 but I'm not
sure this is a shortest one. Could you help me?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you in advance.</FONT></DIV>
