Whereas otherwise, it's "execute as fast as possible, to try your luck as often as possible within a given timeframe". Almost the same, but I fully agree, one is just a task, whereas the other is still a game. Kind of like a form of gambling, where the stake is the work put into executing the algorithm and the pot is a solved board with a fast time. Many years ago I used to be quite addicted. The unconscious pattern matching went far enough to detect unknowable situations and do even the switch back and forth between guessing and solving without spending a conscious thought. The goal was not to solve as many boards as possible with a timeframe, but to get the best time so there was a kind of triage going on between trying to solve possible solvable large scale situations and failing fast. The strategic level was finding the right cutoff.
