o If you had access to the ultimate computer which problem would you try to solve? (or why a well posed UQ problem/question is important) (replace ``the answer to life'' by ``the answer to UQ'', ``deep thought'' by ``petascale'' or ``exascale computer'', and 42 by 0.42). For more see arXiv:1009.0679
