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

The eternity of 135 is the same as that of 130.

Either everything is not explained, or eternity does not apply to the author of the discovery of the key to 130 Smiley
