I'll say! That's a lot of crunching! Mind boggling, actually... If I were to try manually adding just a million numbers, either in my head or with a calculator, assuming it would only take me 1 second to perform each addition, then I should arrive at my result (if taking no breaks for eating or sleeping) in about 11.57 DAYS. Worse still, if two other people were to attempt to validate my result in the same manner, what are the chances that any of us would come up with the same result? :)))
