Most people here don't have access to/possibility to rent much computing power, so it doesn't matter to them whether the K is 2.0, 1.7 or 1.2. That's why attempts to do some kind of magic begin.

Yes, most people don't have resources to solve a high-number puzzles, but it does not mean that they should use magic. It's waste of time unless you are real genius who can break EC, but in this case you don't need to solve puzzles, you have better things to do. So people waste their time for nothing, better buy lottery tickets.

How many GPUs did you use to solve 120-130?

#120 was pretty easy, just 20pcs of 4090 for six weeks.

By the way, I was very surprised when I saw how quickly kangaroos get into a primitive two-point cycle.

It's not rocket science: in average every 2*SizeOfListOfJumps jumps.

Problem is on dealing with cycles on a GPU, oh well, let me just say that having even a couple of registers used for something else than performing some parts of some jump of some kangaroo, can decrease the speed by well over 100%. Not to mention the extra required access to memory when the registers are all full (to "deal with the cycles" one way or the other) bringing the speed down even further.

You just don't have enough skills in GPU coding.
