"It would take too much computing power to go through all 2^19937 numbers and look for the longest run."

Not sure if you're serious with this statement, but if you are I'd say you're slightly overestimating the possibilities we have...

The most powerful supercomputers we have are only capable of less than 10^17 operations per second.

Even if you have all the atoms in the universe, generating numbers at that speed since the big bang, you're still not even close.
