Go up one level in this thread


Les,

Don't feel bad.

Six months ago, I was stuck around 172 bits.

I was feeling great when I got down to 168 (that being the previous theoretical
minimum).

And when I got to 164, I thought there was no way in heck to get it any lower
(until I got it down to 163). Right now, I have a theoretical 161, but there is
a real complex portion of the algorithm that I have not really worked on which
may be slightly inaccurate. So, I may be back up to about 162 or 163. Only time
will tell.

It is not a trivia problem and it may not be solvable in 160 bits. But, it would
be real nice if it were and if someone proved it (and it doesn't have to be me).

Good luck!

KarinsDad :)
