If the PC required 103 days to calculate, how much time did the supercomputer require?

Just discovered, the supercomputer required 29 hrs vs. the PC's 103 DAYS. So this is really apple & oranges comparison.

We don’t know since they didn’t go as far....maybe they ran out of free time between funded projects.

Good question. I imagine the "supercomputer" was faster but I don't know what the use is for the calculation. Supercomputer's programmer looked at what he/she was doing and said "this is the nadir of nerdiness and I am stopping!"
So by default a li'l ol' Core 10 lunchbucket gets it. That's kinda how it goes sometimes I reckon.
