Both ssdf (until recently when they took off 100 from everything)and selective
search (england) calculate based on ELO calculations, and they go up much
quicker than normal human ratings using the same system of calculation. And I
think that, perhaps, in this way, computer will need to reach about 3200 elo in
order to become world champion of humans.

Dan, you seem to be quite a mathematician. Though I am a bit interested in deep
mathematical observations. I also think I have a beneficial lottery formula
worked out. (I don't want to reveal it to the public yet, but I still would like
to check it out with a super great mathematician).
