Digging through Stella via Google, I found an analysis of
Defender's 6 digit routine, though the talk seemed to suggest
that at least one place the way it did things, there would
be a gap at one side of the final digit, not enough time to
fill it in.
The Dig only has Eckhard Stolberg's...
I thought maybe it was overkill, since it's movable,
but it seems to be an ok bet...

Since Robin Habron got it independtly, I had a secret hope that it wasn't
as hard as it looked...

Maybe I'll hack on Eckhard's work, then.
