Maybe someone has had a breakthrough and finally found a method that exists that doesnt rely on bruteforce. Wouldnt that be the only thing to explain that most recent puzzle being solved so fast? Unless many of you just believe it was bruteforce with dumb luck.
If that method exists and brute force does not have to be used, all puzzles can be solved immediately. For example, if someone guessed the random seed for all puzzles—unless they intend to solve one puzzle per month while pretending to use brute force. Another possibility is that someone hacked the puzzle creator, so they also pretend to use brute force to avoid detection. A third possibility is that the creator is joking with us. There's no such thing as dumb luck.
