I did it! For every two numbers, calc.shpakovsky.ru has a static(-looking) webpage showing their sum (or difference, etc). Together with links to several other pages. The only limitation I know of is 4k URL length. Interestingly enough, major search engines are rather smart about it and cooled down their indexing efforts after some time. Guess, I'm not the first one to make such a website.

Haha, nice! Crawler traps are a quite old phenomenon. Been around since before Google.

Dunno about the others, but my crawler has a set depth it will crawl. It'll BFS for like 1000-10000 documents depending on some factors.
