Yes and in that small bundle of code, the combinations extrapolated to the 
Nth +1 magnitude only nets 1.6384 times e10th power.  Thus more than one or 
two likelihoods of......oops.

In a different perspective, should one test the above probabilities at a 
rate of 1000 per day it would require some 44887 years to fully explore.  I 
doubt that any company could be expected to fully explore the bundle to the 
full extent.  Thank goodness for computers and emulators that can do this at 
a much faster rate.  Still, these items only test the combinations that they 
are instructed to test, and this is done by lowly humans.
