I stopped when one of them succeeded and reported it in my paper

Simulation reveals possible miracle cancer curing drug could allow information to travel faster than the speed of light,

(in simulated mice)

And how many runs were bug free?

...one

Wouldn't all simulation have bugs, or all be bugs free. It's the same code you're running.

Maybe how many converged? One

probably the joke is that in simulations you have a lot of parameters, so even though code is same, not all of them would result in physically realistic situations. or your params were so bad that you ran out of memory or processes killed your system or shit, so even convergence bit works.

And I saw none that the simulation succeeded.

Monte Carlo simulations aren't effective for everything, y'know. It has limits!
