Given (from what I remember from Numberphile) you can't write Graham's number down in the observable universe, how are you going to make sure that the loop terminates after outputting Graham's number of bytes? Because you definitely can't put `if count > G` in there...


Ok, that makes it much more interesting, I get it now. It's the "execution eventually terminates" that is tricky. Thank you!
