I flatter myself that I understand roughly where Herc is heading. His algorithm has not yet generated the remaining digits on lines 2 or 3. As he wrote, it's just getting ready to output the next digit on line 1.
This overlooks the fact that he promised us an algorithm and in its place gave us some partial output.
