In response, the electricity company cuts off service. To keep your farm running, you buy a special bicycle (which, of course, costs a prime number of dollars), connect it to your farm, and you pedal for 17 hours, 23 minutes, 41 seconds per day to power your farm.

All that pedaling seems to take too much time away from your activity on mersenneforum.org so you are happy for the phone company to ROUND UP your bill to the nearest prime number.

I can sustain 200W for 30 minutes, so maybe I can power a night light or something...

...you write a fiery letter of complaint to the car company.
