Robotic error message

DOESNOTCOMPUTE

Think of what a confused robot might say when faced with an impossible math problem.

This clue plays on the classic sci-fi trope where robots or computers respond to confusing input with "Does not compute." The phrase mimics how machines in old movies or TV shows would literally state they couldn’t process illogical commands. Here, it’s treated as a single error message, dropping spaces to fit crossword style—so "DOES NOT COMPUTE" becomes "DOESNOTCOMPUTE." Think of it like a robot’s version of "404 error," but with a retro-futuristic twist.
