Think of it this way: do you know what the judge uses as a test case? There are probably more test cases than are given in the samples. Then how are you going to put it into a variable if you don't know what it's going to be?

Prepare for the biggest data input, pick a data type that will accomodate it.

Wish i have 64-bit machine to play with...
