Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog

This paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise.
