In gambling you can be just lucky ... this shit is something far worse. People don't realize how low is the chance to "win" here. 

I have discovered a multitude of scripts and programs on GitHub, numbering at least 96, all claiming to provide solutions for a specific puzzle. This abundance of solutions may give rise to unrealistic expectations, fostering a misleading belief that the puzzle is easily solvable. While some Python scripts may effectively tackle the puzzle within the 1-30 range, attempting to extend the solution beyond 40 seem to be practically unfeasible.

The widespread use of such scripts not only generates false hope but also implies a certain level of promotion for the developers themselves rather than a genuine commitment to solving the puzzle. Grin

You are right. I also tested many programs from github until i started slowly realize how incredibly big are the numbers i'm dealing with a what is the probability to solve puzzles.

Some of programs that can be find on github are utterly stupid - i saw  programs that load the list of so called "dormant bitcoin addresses" a then they are trying to guess the private key to them randomly in 256 bit range. If you think for a moment you can clearly see how stupid it is since there was a big struggle to hit even 64bit puzzle.

Now the 66  is even more difficult. I think even if i had two of first HEX numbers i wouldn't be able to solve it anyway.
