A deterministic wallet takes a single master seed and runs HMAC-SHA256(seed ∥ index) to sequentially produce all 256-bit private keys.

Isn't trying to find the seed of all keys basically just a little harder than breaking the key of Puzzle 256? Which means it's harder than all the puzzles combined, including the ones after 160, and then some.
