What are the high computational demands?

Imagine you're trying to solve a giant puzzle with 1,000 pieces, but instead of just matching shapes, you have to calculate each piece's position based on many different rules, like a robot learning how to play chess.

High computational demands are like having that robot work on 1,000 puzzles at once, using many complicated rules for every single piece. It needs a lot of brainpower (or in real life, a powerful computer) because it’s doing a huge amount of calculations all at the same time.

Why does this happen?

Sometimes, you’re not just solving one puzzle, you're solving many puzzles, and each puzzle has its own rules. Like if you had to figure out how many ways 10 kids could line up for lunch, but then you had to do that for every single day of the year.

What does it feel like?

It’s like asking a very tired kid to solve a whole bunch of math problems, all at once, they might get confused or take longer than usual. That's what happens with computers when they have high computational demands, they need more time and power to finish the job!
