Oh, good catch. That's certainly the case if an initial value of 0 correctly generates the required value of the quine. As I'd already started running some code against the live data that's what I tested against, and so it's only when I just tested it against the example data that I saw the problem.

I have changed the for-loop to read for (var a in (top ? 1 : 0).to(8)) for maximum terseness :-)

That still works for the example and my live data, and I don't think there should be a valid solution that relies on the first triplet being 0. Thanks for your reply!
