Let's find out how well you know computers! All of these programs have a variable NUMBER in them. Your mission: guess how big NUMBER needs to get before the program takes 1 second to run.
You don't need to guess exactly: they're all between 1 and a billion. Just try to guess the right order of magnitude! A few notes:
gcc -O2
.Good luck! We were surprised by a lot of these. We'll be anonymously collecting your answers, so expect some graphs in the future! =D
