That will exclude a fairly large percentage of the possible targets (about 98+% I believe). Even with that, I'm thinking a runtime >24hrs is likely.

Probably should have done this simple test before posting the above, but thought I'd share this now that I have:

Timing a simple SysRPL loop that simply checks a loop counter shows a speed of about 2100 cycles/sec on a real 50g. While that seems fairly fast, it isn't fast enough to pursue the above-mentioned strategy for this application. Knowing in advance that the known-target is at the 1405349897th loop iteration, that implies a minimum of over 7 days worth of cycles just for the looping structure itself. The actual root/cube checking would add considerable more time, so I won't pursue that method any further.

I'll probably try a modified (lower "order") form of Werner's approach, and I may also go ahead and put together a Saturn routine for testing an exact integer to see how long it takes. That will help define whether this is worth pursuing further on this platform. Either way, it's been an interesting exercise.

Thanks Joe!
