Hmm.  Are you offering to calculate such a number for your next PIC
project?  I would think it next to impossible, given the stretched
and circular nature of modern technology.  (The PIC uses some
petrochemicals in its manufacture, which were derived from an oil
well discovered using modern seismological equipment, which used
a PIC based circuit in a down-hole measurement device...)
