| I'm unconvinced that I wouldn't have been just as able to write a solver in 1992 as I am now. It might have taken me a bit more time, but I don't think my skills would have been inadequate to the task. The only difference is that now I have much faster machines available to run it on (so that, for example, I can determine in under thirty seconds that 1,2,7,8 is the set of four starting digits which renders the longest initial subsequence of ℕ reachable), but that isn't a change in me either :-) |
