Getting there. As it happens that could never be the output of factor() for at least two reasons. (Can you guess either?)

Thanks. I get + 1 years added to my current age today.

Beginning programmer:
piage = piage + 1;

sm:
piAge += 1;

me:
pi.age++;

1. Far too large.
2. Takes too long.

1) the factors look familiar ( like the bases of the exponents to me)
2) because factor() uses prime factors and exponents but only the base is listed ?

2) is incorrect. Both primes and exponents are listed.

Those look like arguments that it couldn't reasonably appear, but I meant 'not even if there was lots of time', say 2^500 seconds.

(Good try, though!)

I'm guessing the last one is C?

They are, respectively, GP, GP, and GP.

And, those numbers would be too large to even handle, let alone make some computations with, and they're not in order from least to greatest.

O rly?

Is what we've been trying to clear Pi.
