nontrivial
adj. Requiring real thought or significant computing power. Often used as an understated way of saying that a problem is quite difficult or impractical, or even entirely unsolvable ( Proving P=NP is nontrivial ). The preferred emphatic form is decidedly nontrivial. See trivial , uninteresting , interesting.
