We have answered this question more than once for you. I don't understand why you continue to ask. I develop PFGW (currently) and have worked with George...
... Thanks for posting those details, Ken. You were unlucky not to get an AP6 straight off, weren't you? 335 AP5s should have been enough. (Poisson up to his...

Cool, I'll be looking forward to hearing from you on your results. I found a few other promising polynomials, such as: n=subst(121*x^2-396*x^4+324*x^6, x,...
Interesting. For sextics, I get your exact same degree split if I substitute 18*x^3-10*x-1 instead of 18*x^2-11*x-2. i.e. n=subst(121*x^2-396*x^4+324*x^6, x,...
... But then you should divide x by 3, to optimize the sextics. Hence I have been running with n=subst(y*(2*y-11)^2/9,y,(2*x^3-10*x-3)^2); which is an integer...
Thanks for sharing, I think we help each other push forward. :) Here's my best one so far. n=(2*x^3 - 3*x^2 - 5*x + 2)^2 * (4*x^6 - 12*x^5 - 11*x^4 + 38*x^3 +...
... I had pondered that one too, in the guise print(polredabs(2*x^3-3*x^2-5*x+2)); x^3 - 13*x - 4 It trades an 18th order term for 9th order, at the expense of...

Of course you can really go to town with this method. { n=(2*x^3 - 3*x^2 - 5*x + 2)^2 * (4*x^6 - 12*x^5 - 11*x^4 + 38*x^3 + 13*x^2 - 20*x - 6)^2 / 16; ...
