Great Progress on the Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem!

Dear Professor

Ideal solutions of the the Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem has been solved
for 
the k=11 case recently. That is
  [ 0, 11, 24, 65, 90, 129, 173, 212, 237, 278, 291, 302 ] 
= [ 3, 5, 30, 57, 104, 116, 186, 198, 245, 272, 297, 299 ] 

It means
  0^k+11^k+24^k+65^k+90^k+129^k+173^k+212^k+237^k+278^k+291^k+302^k 
= 3^k+5^k+30^k+57^k+104^k+116^k+186^k+198^k+245^k+272^k+297^k+299^k
          (k=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11)

It is a great progress of the Prouhet-Tarry-Escott problem. 
(The first solution of the k=9 case was found in 1940 without using
computer. and no new result of k>=10 is found in the past 60 years.)
