I think I’ve approached all of this the wrong way.

I’m offering a 0.1 BTC bounty for the formal proof of any traversal method that provides a statistical edge over a linear scan for puzzle 69. By statistical edge I mean that this new traversal method running on a statistically significant number of executions requires significantly fewer checks (let’s put the threshold at 5%) to find the key.

Conditions :
- Has to be written using math semantics. Not “where does John lives” metaphors.
- Has to be empirically validated using a python / nodeJS script.
- First one posting it to this thread will be recipient of the bounty.
