The arithmetic
The range for puzzle #111 contains 1.29 × 1033 private keys. A modern eight-core laptop running this solver checks on the order of four million keys per second, so an exhaustive sweep would take about 1.02 × 1019 years. Searching randomly instead of in order does not change that expectation — it only changes which unlucky order you fail in.
