Although some of you may be tired of this subject, it seems like a good one for golf. Maybe there is some mathematical regularity that can be exploited, even though the key was no doubt randomly selected.

Assuming we can't post the key itself without risking getting off topic, maybe the key plus one will be OK. That explains why the sequence that appears below may not look familiar.

But the main question is, what is your golf score for a program that will output the "key plus one" string?

Not being a golf master myself, it is with humility that I suggest the following rules:

1) output must be human-readable hex.
2) all customary Perl golf rules apply (other than the output not being a JAPH).
3) Legal (so to speak) output formats are any of:

10 FA 12 03 9E 75 E4 5C D9 42 57 C6 64 57 89 C1
10FA12039E75E45CD94257C6645789C1
10-FA-12-03-9E-75-E4-5C-D9-42-57-C6-64-57-89-C1

(with or without a newline at the end).

An obvious entry to start things off:

perl -e 'print "10FA12039E75E45CD94257C6645789C1"'
