I got it using java but it took like 5 minutes.

Can someone post a more efficient code using a better algorithm?

Unfortunately the solution of this can be found via google.

There are still websites like Wolfram Alpha, and software like GNU Octave and others, so it's not like that would make a lot of difference I guess.
