I think this one was faster to solve by hand than it would have been to write any code.

What I hope is that in January we would get the really nice and elegant solutions to all these problems which would put my brute-forced crap to shame.

If you found a nice, elegant, polynomial-time solution to most of these problems, you'd be off redefining human knowledge of mathematics rather than posting it as the solution to an internet programming puzzle.

Urgh, I finished 16 and 21-25 by hand (being away from my normal dev machine), but now I guess I need to find somewhere to actually code up solutions to 17-20.

How long is this going to be up?

The question is asking you to check the initial digits of the hexadecimal encoding of the hash output.
