QuoteAccording to the posted statement, the system managed to calculate ? (pi) number to 1 million decimal places in 18.516 seconds, which is currently the world?s record.

Thats pretty crazy

Someone should try something colder than liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen is 70 degrees Kelvin.
Liquid helium is less than 4 degrees. Why doesn't someone rich try that?

Because liquid nitrogen is ~$2/gallon, but liquid helium is ~$5/liter.

Doesn't sound expensive at all.  If I was into hardware and all that, sure I'd try it

Yeah, until you look at the electric bill.  It takes a lot to keep nitrogen and helium liquid ;\
