This is pure crazy talk -- I love it. Just enough coherence to follow the progression, but chaotic enough to give the feeling you experience when chasing difficult problems through the rabbit hole. Truly a brain dump, as close as one can perform. I bet it felt incredible not just to solve the challenge, but then to try to extract the event from an exhausted mind and write it all down. A tad bit envious if I don't mind saying so.
> The first tidbit is “PERRIN” this is referencing Perrin numbers. I 100% confident that we are the only people to ever hit that wiki page, ever.
Almost: I was on that wiki page while waiting in line around 3 am Thursday morning (speakers got badges, etc. early, and a friend of a friend was a speaker). We just didn't have the time to stick with it.

The Google Translate deciphering from latin was probably the most amusing part to me and no longer seems to work? https://translate.google.com/#la/en/lorem%20ip%0A%0ALorem%20...
