The computer solved the problem in 5 hours after considering 100 billion moves by working backwards from the winning position.

Algorithms are often used to describe how a computer might solve a problem.

But the computer can solve millions of different problems at the same time.

In the end, though, that may still be a problem the computer has not solved.

Psychologists considered how a computer could solve problems and perform 'intelligent' activities.

By contrast, a single desktop machine would take about 4,000 hours, while the fastest computer could solve it in 4.8 minutes.

A cell phone and laptop computer solved those problems.

Of course, computers can also just solve for one, if it exists.

Once your computer has solved all questions, why should it not turn itself off?

Such computers could solve problems using word-like symbols that allow them to "think" like people.
