Problem with algorithm

[Steve Holden]

Steve,

Based on the Wikipedia article's estimate of 10**79 atoms in the
observable universe (is that all?), we would need a string of about 57
characters long to give each one a separate name.

Well, we can't be right all the time, I suppose. Perhaps I need to
raise my certainty filters.

(And I'll bet you've typed on an old Royal or two in your time...)

Who are you calling a monkey?

Are you maybe trying to create a rainbow table, or a very big
dictionary

 

[Robert Kern]

If I see farther, it is because I stand on the shoulders of an
infinite number of monkeys.

If I ever get around to writing a book on numerical methods/computational
science/whatever, this will be the chapter quote for my chapter on Monte Carlo
algorithms.
