This is really neat, I haven't seen this approach to a japh before. A nice demonstration of a novel way to encode the text.
If you are golfing, here's a (very) slight reduction:
for('3.55*$i**5-57.583*$i**4+347.75*$i**3-972.92*$i**2+1249.2*$i-463.5 +','-0.55*$i**5+10.208*$i**4-69.833*$i**3+215.29*$i**2-292.12*$i+247.5 +','1.25*$i**5-25.333*$i**4+191.25*$i**3-672.17*$i**2+1099*$i-561.5',' +0.5833*$i**5-9.4583*$i**4+56.167*$i**3-148.54*$i**2+169.25*$i+36.5'){ +for$i(1..6){print chr eval}};
Makes me wonder about other mathematical ways of encoding the text, maybe as solutions to other kinds of equations or as fixed points of some system...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
