gollark: As far as I'm aware, this generates something like O(n²) output terms.
gollark: Fine, I'll... feed it some primes? How many primes?
gollark: I mean, if you feed it enough primes to be convincing, the formula will be VERY big.
gollark: It literally just generates a polynomial which goes through a bunch of points I put in.
gollark: This isn't capable of magically generating elegant formulae for any sequence you feed it.
