Wow, this is awesome! Great job computing it.

This reminds me of a time during college a professor gave us an extra credit assignment to essentially find prime factoring large numbers (classic problem). I had come up with a pretty bad solution, but thought it might just finish in time for the deal line if I left it running all week. Of course a transformer blew up the day before the deadline, and I never knew... chances are my program would have never terminated :P
