I'm more impressed by Bovine getting 38% of a 2^56 space. That's enough to
do, what, almost a quarter of a second of human thought? And all this by
offering $1K? In a few years, anybody with a Power-program to debug will be
able to get human-level processing power, albeit slowed down by a couple of
thousand to one, by offering a mere $10K.
In fact, how do we *know* these are key-testers we're running and not a
distributed, sentient mathematician?
