Sorry if I confused you with my memory lapse. Dennis Pierce and
I chatted about this and it takes 9 fourth powers, not 19 as I said
in the previous email. Don't know why I said that since it's clear
that 19 could never be required for a number that small. (What is
needed is 3**4 + 7*2**4 + 1**4, which is 9 fourth powers.)
