gollark: It is VERY annoying that the last one has just four (4) integers in it and not five (5).
gollark: See, if you just iterate through all possible programs in some language, and see which one first produces those outputs given those inputs, you will have a solution.
gollark: Actually, I didn't.
gollark: Oh, wait, I think this can probably be done in a somewhat insane way which is *technically* not a lookup table.
gollark: This is EXTREMELY anomalously apioioio.
