... how long took it to prove fermat's last theorem?
350 years. (How is this related to backslashes anyway?)
not at all ... i'd just propose, we try to find a non-optimal solution, since, rather than offering no solution at all ... i don't think, pd is a program to develop / prove concepts of computer sciences, but a tool to create arts (well, i thing 99% of the users use it this way)
