Let me see if I got this straight: There are 2^63 possible outcomes, that's 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, Buffet is allowing only 10,000,000 guesses and if more than one entry has the same prediction they split the prize.
So I guess the idea here is to collaborate and both pick the more probable outcomes while avoiding duplication. If the outcomes were truly random even without duplication the probability of anyone winning is only 1 in 922,337,203,685. And without cooperation I bet the will be tons of entries very close the always pick the top seed strategy.
Assuming duplicate entries could be avoided the trick would be to pick the 10,000,000 most likely outcomes. Hmm...
