John McKay CHALLENGE system of polynomial equations

# This is a system of polynomials for the set of 
# twelve q-coefficients {a1..5,a7..9,a11,a17,a19,a23}
# of replicable fns. Remove the solns ak=0 for all k > 0.
# It is an important problem to solve even in Z .
# There is a check at the end. Should give g1..g17 = 0.

# Apart from the solution a[k]= 0 for all k > 1, 
# the rest should be a zero-dimensional ideal.

# There are about 600+ rational integer solutions.
