Update to "Solving Problems in C# and F# - Part 2"

It's been pointed out that I didn't need to write the extension method RaiseToThePowerOf. BigInt has it's own static Pow method. I blame code blindness.

So, with this in place Problem 25 is solved like this...

    1:  var ten = BigInt.FromInt32(10);

    2:  var nineninenine = BigInt.FromInt32(999);

    3:  var first1000DigitNumber = BigInt.Pow(ten, nineninenine);

    4:   

    5:  var answer = new Fibonacci().BigSequence

    6:                      .TakeWhile(x => x < first1000DigitNumber)

    7:                      .Count() + 1;

    8:   

    9:  return answer;  

... which is a bit better. Thanks bistok.
