Question:

Suppose a computer procedure needs to check all of 2100 possibilities to solve a problem. Assume the computer can check 1;000;000 possibilities each second.

a. How long will it take the computer to solve this problem this way?

b. Suppose that the computer company comes out with a new computer that operates 1000 times faster than the old model. How does that change the answer to question a? What is the practical impact of the new computer on solving the problem this way?
