I've abandoned the paint manager database thing because Cambridge want me to do a load of learning Haskell. Unfortunately, Haskell seems just slightly less aware of what it's doing than I need it to be. Ideally I'd have it realise that if a<b<c, and it needs to test all integers for each of a, b and c, then it should probably not iterate a to +infinity waiting for it to reach a value lower than 1, which b has, and instead when a is bigger than b, iterate b instead, and try again.

Thankfully, I've just thought of a rather nasty hack I can put in to make it not matter when it does completely the wrong thing.
