Actually, no. I was just responding to an ongoing discussion, and
going off-topic. My bad. My Forth is very rusty; I haven't written
anything significant in Forth since about '83. However, it is a
favorite of mine, and I have recently started to work with it again.

I have been trying some of the problem in Forth, but my brain is
old and rusty, and it will take time.

I solved 44 quickly by computing lookup tables, and then searching them.
45 I solved by brute force.
