The only problem with that is that you will need 438 weeks, which is about 9 years, and I bet that after you win one of them first time, you will not give a ship anymore, about playing, and you will go to some tropical paradise to live the rest of your life - or better, go to some cold place and open a computing center (cold place is better, it helps with killing the heat that the servers will generate), buy few supercomputers and crunch for some prime numbers... And if you have the guts and play the second time, and win again, then expect CIA, FBI, KGB, Mossad, Yakuza, etc., to start hunting for you to "study" you...
