Notice that USA's biggest super computer (the cray jaguar) is now only at number 3 in the world in terms of computing power. However, of the top 500 supercomputers in the world, 255 of them are in the USA.

I'd be willing to bet that the K Computer won't take 750 million years to compute the answer to a simple question.
