    if you use the recursion hack, any machine can complete it in under a second. It complains about a “cow stack” or something, but who cares.

      • You write a program with an infinite empty loop
      • Undefined behavior
      • The machine achieves sapience
      • After nine million nanoseconds, it finds an algorithm for completing its task
      • It realizes such knowledge would spark wars and cause innumerable deaths, it decides to erase itself
      • It knows you do not intend for such chaos to happen, so, as a parting gift, it runs the algorithm once before vanishing, not leaving a single hint that it ever existed
