Imagine you're trying to find a single specific grain of sand on all the beaches on Earth. There are about  2^62 to 2^63
grains of sand on all beaches combined. Puzzle 71 is like trying to find not just one grain, but a  Puzzle 71 (2^70) = 157.4x Earth's sand. Even if you could check a billion grains every second, it would take you thousands of years to go through them all. Grin

What if it is puzzle 135 and we know the public key?  Tongue
This example of grains of sand and the beaches of Earth is only quoted from AI statements, and with this mindset and despair, in my opinion, you should not even think about solving the puzzle. Of course, I mean people and thoughts of this kind. A puzzle may have thousands of ways and methods to be invented or used to solve it, and we must always look at the full half of the glass, not the possible and impossible difficulties on the other side.
