I think even if i had two of first HEX numbers i wouldn't be able to solve it anyway.

The remaining search space is 2^(66-2) = 2^64.

It would take approximately 584 years to complete the task in Python.

So your saying theres a chance?

wheew you had me going there!

64 puzzle was solved 2022-09-10 then we had 3090 maximum.
Now we have 4090 which is 2x faster.
Next year we'll have 5090 which probably even 2x faster then 4090.

66 puzzle exactly have 4x more difficulty then 64 puzzle.
So next year solving 66 with 5090 will be the same probability as solving 64 with 3090 in 2022.
