Hamming minigolf post mortem

Can anyone explain what is going on in mtve's solution?

I just can't seem to see where to start decoding it.


BTW: yes, my rejected solution should have been 6026e9 in the end.


Well, this is also a posibility---this one works:
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
print+($n)=@h=sort{$b<$a}grep$n<$_,1,@h,map$n*$_,2..5until$n>6025e9
