So solvers are now much faster, but I haven't found a single hint in the article as to how they got faster (aside from the "more memory", "more CPU" aspect). Was there a major theoretical development in the solve

Oh boy, strace is soooo useful, and not just for coding or sysadmin. As a user , when e.g. my browser does funky stuff like freezing for no reason, my knee-jerk reflex is always strace. I was initially a little put down by the russian styl

Not entirely sure why such a simple game requires pulling out as big a gun as PRISM seems to be. Looks to me like a very basic monte carlo simulation of Dreidel should take less than a 100 lines of C and would pretty much produce the exact
