Nothing going on around these wood

We play with  numbers with at least 20 decimal places here.
If you could make one Giga (10^9) guesses per second, it would take:

10^20 / 10^9 = 10^11 seconds

This is equivalent to roughly 3.2 million years. So, even with an incredibly fast computer making a Giga guesses per second, it would take millions of years to guess a 20-decimal-place number.

We'd better start practicing crystal ball gazing to guess what the correct range of Puzzle 66 is Grin
According to my crystal ball, we'd only need 2339 years to completely scan the entire 66 bit range. Note that my crystal ball is uneducated and generates insensible results.😉
