Yes, these numbers are astronomical. I did some crude calculating (with the
Windows calculator) and to do the first row: 60 pixels, would require
producing 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 combinations.
But at a billion combinations a second, it would take about 32 years.
If we broke this up amoung a monstrous network of computers running
simultaneously, maybe we could get the first line done within our lifetimes;
but what if we reduced the total size from 60 x 60 to something more
reachable like, 5 x 5?
