::Give some example wording here if you like, and I will paste it into the description. The reason is as you say: The calculator only provides 16 digits. [[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 01:18, 24 July 2011 (UTC) |

::Every solution on the page will come to a limit, because of the nature of the task. With GUISS, the limit is 16 digits, other solutions may stop after a few thousand digits, but they will stop.[[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 01:27, 24 July 2011 (UTC) |

:::I'm not sure using the windows calculator really fits the task because (as far as I know) it doesn't actually calculate anything--it spits out a stored value.
