<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 10pt; color: black;"><font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have started the experiment myself just to get an idea of the magnitude of the problem.<br>
Taking a target string of 'Hello' which is 0001011010100110001101100011011011110110 or 40bits in total.<br>
The program matched 'h' in 11 attempts, then 74, 316 qand 132 tries.<br>
It matched 'he' in 3888 and then 3228 tries.<br>
It is now running the full 'hello' and has just passed 400,000 tries. The rate of attempts is only 1 every 10ms, so its pretty slow going.<br>
