This script generates a binary value according to the tips of MrFreeDragon
he puts from 29 to 35 "1´s" in binary

But actually these tips are not very big help. Even if they are correct, the decrease in total number of combinations is not too much.

For example, for 64bit key the total range is 2^63, if we take only the keys with 29-35 quantity of "1"s , so the total combinations to test is 2^62.23 (total decrease of the range less than twice).
If we limit our range to exact 32 "1"s (32 "1"s and 32 "0"s), so the total amount of combinations will be 2^59.58 (decrease approx. by 10 times)
