takes about 40 seconds to return the exact answer.

Micro-Challenge: Generate that same answer in less than 1 second, using only vanilla User RPL (no System RPL or SYSEVALs or FLASHEVALs etc). The fastest program wins.

On my calculator, putting that onto the stack and using this: [RSHIFT] →NUM gives me the answer in less than a second.

Not the exact answer, which is what was specified.
