uhuhuh...wait! What was the question again? Oh yeah...

"How many paths from A to B?"

Well ... let's see... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ...

JUST KIDDING!!

I meeean! - coooomeoonnnn! - for this program...

... there are approximately 1.6 * 1025 paths from A to B.

So, if you could test 100 million paths every second, it would take about 5 billion years to test every path just once - not considering leap years of course - or Y2k :-) ... (As a note of interest, that's about how long some folks claim the earth has existed...)

Hey! - I know - Let's run the tests in parallel! ... I mean - Heck! We've got all these PCs sitting around ... and a lot of them are Pentium II's :-)))
