Jul 28, 2017 at 2:51 comment added Veedrac Coincidentally 2½ hours is about as long as it took to brute-force :P.
Jul 28, 2017 at 2:44 comment added Veedrac (reads spoiler) Ah, that's what you meant when you said to remove the modulus check. I just brute-forced it!
Jul 28, 2017 at 2:28 comment added user15259 Correct for the original challenge. Given 352664 takes about 2½ hours to validate, that term might take 10 months! O(n²) time.
Jul 27, 2017 at 11:57 comment added Veedrac I think it might be 30490425, but I'm entirely unable to test it right now.

Removed superfluous.
Jul 27, 2017 at 0:26 comment added user15259 @Veedrac - Good luck! Hint: remove the modulus check, put in an incrementing loop and see what numbers come out. Don't look at the spolier!

Added cracked note.
Jul 26, 2017 at 22:40 comment added Veedrac Cracked. I should have more faith! A shame you had to make it easier; I've not given up on the original though.
Jul 26, 2017 at 22:17 comment added Veedrac "really easy". Why do I not trust you... :P
Jul 26, 2017 at 21:50 comment added user15259 @Veedrac - I noticed now the rules say it must halt in < 30 seconds. Have changed the code, it's now much easier!

Revised to allow code to end quickly on CodingGround.
Jul 26, 2017 at 0:58 comment added Veedrac Help plz? Does the answer work on tutorialspoint.com/execute_smalltalk_online.php? For bonus niceness, does it halt within ~60s?
