No, you solved factoring remember? Your program wasn't a prototype.
It was THE solution.

They didn't use a general purpose CPU that has been around for decades.
I say the first person to factor 512-bit numbers on a single AA
battery [no matter what "computer" they use] deserves mention to.
Sometimes "innovation" is good. Specially when it's backed by some
real science.

No, we don't care. You can't explain your method outside of dozens of
equations. How about you explain in ENGLISH why you think your
algorithm is a good idea.
And in general being able to factor a COUPLE 24-bit numbers is not that
impressive.

My computer is a 6809 with 4KB of ram you incensitive clod!

Oh oh oh. Is this where I go "ny'huh I know you are but what am I?"
