Yeah, I believe it now. Got close with my int version (shifting 
the fractional portion by the exponent... works great until it 
overflows adding up the bits). Tried a version with floating 
point math (cast to int, print that, append . to the string, 
raise the other to some power of ten, cast to int, call it done) 
and even that didn't actually work right - the leading zeroes or 
high exponents weren't right. Haven't even tried parsing them yet!

Yikes. I hate to admit defeat, but this has blown my time budget 
to pieces. Time to give it up. :(
