## Why is this relevant
* [Project Euler](https://projecteuler.net/)
* Programming problems
* Computational mathematics
* Most (all?) problems can be bruteforced
* All problems can be solved in a minute
note:
Each of these problems can be solved in a program that takes less than one
minute to run on a modest computer with an efficient algorithm.
Inefficient solutions can take much more.
Example: was solving a problem. Wrote brute force solution and ran it. Two
hours later, I solved with an efficient algorithm. Two hours after that, my
brute force solution completed.
