The second day I watch what james5000 writes and it's very funny to me)
 It's especially funny to see how other people support him)
 I don’t want to offend anyone, but I get the impression that you didn’t study mathematics at school, your teacher should be very ashamed.
 The method suggested by james5000 would require you to try more than 2^65 combinations to solve a 66 bit key.
 It is impossible to go through such a number of combinations in a month, or even in a year!
 Please learn to count before you write like this, you look very stupid.
 I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, I just had to tell you that you are doing nonsense, I wish you all success!

As there are more than 2^65 possibilities for 66 bits, even though I'm skipping intervals.

For example:
Between the initial key and the second key, 2^33 keys are skipped, then 2^32, 2^31, and so on...
I believe you don't even need to calculate it to see that it's less than 2^65.
