gollark: What's `findRem` doing? Doesn't Haskell have a mod function?
gollark: It's going to have a fun feature where if it detects that you're running it *while* the uninstaller is open, it will subtly mess up your answers.

gollark: So I wanted to do it in a convoluted way, so I looked at a bunch of prime factorization algorithms.
gollark: So I thought it would be funny if potatOS shipped with a program to factor primes for you.
