On December 3, 2005, the challenge was accepted by Alexander Ratushnyak who
sent me an entry of size 593620 (payout of $88.25 pending). It continues the
series of PAQAR-based entries and requires less than 255 Mb of RAM.
This time the entry consists of two files - a PPMd archive file and a separate
data file. The size of the entry is computed as a sum of: the length of the
PPMd file (7540), the length of the data file (586071), 3 bytes for the length
of the data file, and 6 bytes for the data file name including the terminator.
