I'm running a brute-force now. Well, two to be exact. I don't know how to thread, so I just have two instances of the program running. One started with x = 0, srand(x), x++. The other started at x = 4294967295, srand(x), x--. At least this way, it runs twice as fast. Time to set priority to high and let you guys know the outcome. Now, this is the brute-force, which will now satisfy the deal with my friend. I'm still clueless on how to go about cracking this without trying every combonation. Thanks again.
