Everyone spoke of the new HIARCS, it was very strong but not in the top three
when it got out, so it was mainly hype.

I can also make a phantasy pridiction: Frenzee v.3245 - GreKo v.192.54 will
battle for first in the WCCC on quantum computers - "when they get out".
I am pretty sure that is at least half true, based on some optimistic notes I
wrote to myself...
