  Then this should be easy for you:

  All you need to do is compress this file:

  http://marknelson.us/attachments/million-digit-challenge/AMillionRandomDigits.bin

  to less than 415241 bytes, and you can win $100.

But 352,954 kb > 415241 bytes, by several orders of magnitude; so
you didn't "do that".  (Or are we using the European decimal point?)

If you're claiming 352,954 *bytes*, not kb, I invite you to explain
why you have not collected Mark Nelson's $100 prize, and untold fame
and glory; failing which, your credibility will evaporate.
