Is HN competing with 4chan on this? I'm gonna be pretty disappointed if we lose.

Nah, 4channers are more numerous and/or have more time on their hands. Edit: besides, we are to collab, not compete.

Also the culture/format/rules there are way better suited for this

Interesting how this is a great example for on boarding users to a new software, or suck them into completing tougher and tougher tasks.

Start with simple questions and tasks and let the user build confidence. Once they answer / complete a few tasks, their ego will push them to take on the next few tasks!

So the final question will be P=NP?

It will truly be a never completed game.

Some people might not appreciate spoilers so publicly here, the other comment with the link gave a warning.

Anyways, #39 was just solved.
