Even adding to your requirements that it have an ℵ₁ Hz bus (which, by the way, I *totally* want - the uses are endless), it would take a finite amount of time to assign to x the "next number", ergo your algorithm can't guarantee to finish in finite time.
If it's a quantum computer, it may be able to execute all branches of the iteration in parallel. But it would only have a probability of returning the right answer (in other cases it would kill your cat). -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
