Re: IMPORTANT: RSA Data Security Challenge participants please read



How is this thing being scored?  Do you win by exploring a larger fraction
of the keyspace than anyone else, or by finding the key?  While the
probability of any given group finding the key is proportional to the
fraction of the keyspace explored by that group, it could be found by
anybody.  The odds only favor the leaders if they explore more of the
keyspace than all the others put together.
