    Start-up time?

    I know it's been said that the calculations shouldn't take too much time, but is it OK if it takes a while (~15 seconds on my computer) for the calculator to start up?

    I could optimize it, but it would be completely against the spirit of the contest...

    Would it be premature optimization?  If so, then it would be completely in the spirit of the competition.   

    All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it.
