What is incredible to me is that someone can come up with the need to be able to have that make calculations to solve or answer some real question.

If you just said calculate pi it will crunch away for ever if it has enough decimal places to the right.

To actually have a real world problem that would need 133 trillion calculations.

I know that it is probably calculation many things that are unrelated.
