gollark: Oh, the simulation we use to sabotage other companies' progress!
gollark: I'm sure *you'd* like to think so.
gollark: Your proof wasn't run by our truth cuboids, so it might be wrong.
gollark: An experimental GTech™ project managed to count as high as 29 at one point. It used a significant fraction of our computational resources and some recently generated number theory.
gollark: We even count to 4 sometimes.
