Using the first solution only, was more practical in this case, due to the very slow speed of older calculators.
The MK-52 for example needs 5 hours for the first solution. For very fast calculators or assembly language tests,
I've used an additional outer loop for more accurate timing. It's a compromise to be able to compare very slow and
very fast results for the same algorithm, although I'm not really satisfied with the test code of some devices.
It's not easy to test so many calculators and languages absolutely accurate.
