Another example of a short peer-reviewed paper (and related to Computer Science, yay!) is "Counterexample to Euler's conjecture on sums of like powers": http://fermatslibrary.com/s/counterexample-to-eulers-conject...

Hi Marat_Dukhan! By the way that paper has also been annotated on Fermat's Library: http://fermatslibrary.com/s/counterexample-to-eulers-conject... :)

I would even say that paper is shorter, but I don't see an objective way to weight and measure the length of figures presented in a paper so it's kind of subjective.

It varies by publication, I've recently seen them counted as 250 and 450 characters (each), which would make the LA longer.
