Thus, probabilities change depending on how you search.

It is likely that a more efficient search method exists. And no, this does not break cryptography

Are you reading yourself?

If a more efficient search method exists, that, by definition, means the hashing algorithm is broken.

A broken hash algorithm means that cryptography is broken.

If you're talking in the non-crypto framework, it is even much much worse: you are implying that you can read people mind's when you ask them to think of a random number, without going through all the possible numbers.

I'm giving up. I'll go play Prince of Persia while you gibber up some answer that I don't really care about any longer. Cheesy Cheesy
