nontrivial
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 uninteresting, interesting.
