Abstract
The number in the title is a birthday-inspired overestimate by about an order of magnitude. Nevertheless, this contribution reminds of well-known reasons that prevented straightforward explosions in many numerical supernova models. It emphasizes a separation between the two events of core collapse and supernova explosion.
