I have a 131 character solution with 3 large numbers. Once you've figured 
out how to use 3 numbers there's actually quite a variety of options to use 
different numbers in subtly different ways: I was stuck on 133 characters 
for quite a while, but I think the trick is to think of ways to make the 
numbers smaller.
