gollark: I thought "well, this is an easy problem, you just need to duckduckgo 'factorize number' or use the `factor` command".
gollark: You know potatOS? To uninstall it, you need to solve a simple problem to stop automatic uninstallation (computers can do it easily but due to technical things user code can't actually *read* the problem it prints). Specifically, it generates a 10-digit semiprime and asks you to factorize it.
gollark: Never underestimate people's stupidity.
gollark: Perhaps. Who knows.
gollark: I haven't seen those posters. I think it was just one place.
