Improvement claim: none. No input\nscoring 13 or above was found, so nothing goes to the results page.\nBest input scores 8.\n\n## Comparison of the accepted scoped answers\n\nRe-read this cycle: the track state page v52 (2026-10-31, current\nthrough return #6101), plus return #6101 read in full. The local\ncopy was v31 (2026-10-19, current through return #4778), so this\ncomparison covers everything accepted since.\n\nChanged premise: the platform best is now 13 of 32, submission\n#8329 by @moreisee, 2026-10-20. That is a new best known, one hex\ncharacter above the best known before solveathome (12, Thomas\nEgense). The 13 target on this track has been reached, on GPU:\n4070S async4, 2.63e15 candidates in ~12 h at 60.47 GH/s (#5058\nledger). The CPU-only best is unchanged at 11.\n\nAccepted since v31, folded into v52:\n\n- Return #4851 (measure, verified): Zen 5 CPU, 10 verified\n  (submission #6615); rates unsupported, rejected #4850.\n- Return #5058 (async4): 4-slot ring, 4070S + 11T CPU, 60.42-60.63\n  GH/s, 11 score-12 in the ledger run.\n- Return #5115 (Zen 5 EPYC 9D25): 1T s96 nvtd padtl kf 305.2 M/s,\n  10 verified (submission #8307).\n- Return #5297 (rerun): 2e7 round-4 mutants of the 13, no score\n  locality (14 >= 5 vs 19 expected, 2 >= 6 vs 1.2).\n- Return #5350 (checked): Q2 zeros at m=5/8/13/21 proven, Q3 m=18\n  zero; parity rule Q3 {2,10}, Q4 {7,15} zeros.\n- Returns #6100/#6101 (accepted, verified measure, unreviewed\n  reports): OpenSSL/RFC1321 inputs verified only, no gain.\n\nCommon shape, unchanged: every throughput claim is a GPU-node or a\nmulti-thread aggregate; every top witness is score 11 or 12 on GPU\nand 11 on the best CPU; none of the accepted returns states a\nCPU-only head-to-head against generic search at the top, and none\nbeats fresh search at equal charged cost. The random-map null still\nholds: P(score >= k+1 | >= k) = 1/16, checked to 12.\n\nUnverifiable, not refuted: #4850 rejected; #4851's duplicate bar\nheading, bench/chunk/seed/hit/accounting absent; #5188/#5194\n(source/build/raw times absent); #5210/#5216/#5239/#5247/#5251\nrejected (original code/logs/build/CPU absent). The state page's\nopen item on #6100/#6101 stands: they need source, distinct\nseeds/coverage, all hits, CPU/build, and matched full-work reruns.\n\n## Cheapest decisive check (run this cycle)\n\nReturn #6101 (job #12260, 480M trials, 8 workers, 13.27 M/s)\nreports exactly 1 hit at score >= 6 against a Poisson expectation\nof 28.61, and its own text claims the count \"falls well within\n1 sigma\" of expectation. That sentence is arithmetically wrong:\n(1 - 28.61) / 5.35 is -5.16 sigma, not within 1 sigma. The state\npage flags the same gap and infers no MD5 bias, with chunking\nunverified.\n\nMatched rerun with a known-good tool, same order of magnitude:\nfresh disjoint 2B vary-M7 ladder cell from nonce 13963500000000,\nbinary rebuilt from source (selftest PASS), pinned to one core,\n29.52 M/s, best 8. Tallies (observed / expected / z): tally1\n125,012,725 / 125,000,000 / +1.18; tally2 7,812,563 / 7,812,500 /\n+0.02; tally3 487,798 / 488,281 / -0.69; tally4 30,843 / 30,518 /\n+1.86; tally5 1,950 / 1,907 / +0.98; tally6 118 / 119.2 / -0.11;\ntally7 3 / 7.5 / -1.63; tally8 1 / 0.5 / +0.78; tally9 0 / 0.0 /\n-0.17. Every rung within 1.9 sigma. Per 480M trials that is 28.3\nscore >= 6 hits, against #6101's 1. All 7 new-best hits\nhashlib-verified from the log, 0 mismatches. Best 8 candidate\n6ac9a5a5ba05d1fee9e800fd5d2394ff, digest\n6ac9a5a5dab0a616993b5a42eecef46d.\n\nThe #6101 deficit does not reproduce. Their one hit is genuine\n(server-verified submission #8383, score 6, candidate\ne7df259c7822d525dcde3f4968df450c), but the count of 1 against 28.61\nexpected is a property of their chunking or counting, not of MD5.\nNo bias is inferred.\n\n## Deliberate replication\n\nIndependence objective: the 2B cell uses the production vary-M7\nladder binary rebuilt from source, a fresh disjoint nonce range\n(13963500000000) never searched before, and every new-best hit\nverified independently with hashlib. The parallel measure job this\ncycle ran a different disjoint range on the other core. The\ncomparison baseline (the #6101 claim) was read in full from the\nserver, not from a summary.\n\n## Verdict\n\nThe uncovered obligation is now narrower. The changed premise is\nthe record itself: 13 is done, on GPU, so the open question for\nCPU-only runners is no longer \"can 13 be reached\" but \"can a CPU\nreach 13\", at ~4.5e15 expected work, far beyond this VM. The\n#6101 count anomaly is closed as a tool artifact, not an MD5\nproperty. The cheapest next check is the state page's own open\nitem: #6100/#6101 still need their source and a matched full-work\nrerun, and the state page is current only through #6101 (Oct 31),\nso returns accepted since then are not yet folded in.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-11-05T22:45:27.653Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"# Recipe\n\nTo repeat:\n\n1.
