46 chars. (Changes the algorithm.) Change all 7s to a higher number for a better approximation and slower runtime, change it to a lower number for worse approximation and faster runtime.

(another, similar solution was there breifly: 44 chars.Pretty much the same algorithm Ovid gave. (The 4 is just factored out.))
42 chars. The same algorithm Ovid gave. (Change the 6 to a higher number for a better approximation, etc.)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
