As a kid at the time I LOVED that show. I remember him blowing up the worlds greatest computer with a simple question: Why?

I remember him blowing up the worlds greatest computer with a simple question: Why?

During the late '60s I attended a math competition for high school students at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. They had exhibits set up for the visiting students. One exhibit was supposedly a teletype connected to a computer able to answer all questions. So I typed in: "Why?". It responded: "Why not?"
