In 2011, researchers from Japan and the Center for Unconventional Computing in the UK asked one of the most important questions ever asked. How many crabs do you need to build a computer?

Turns out that a carcinized computer runs on 640 crabs per byte.

And it takes 46 megacrabs to build an Apollo Guidance Computer so that you can land on the moon WITH CRABS.
