More fun stats bugs.... I'm going to re-run the stats for Aug 18. Expect
some downtime while I'm tinkering about. Sorry for the inconvenience.

And by the way, when it does come time to announce that we've found the
key, it won't be done by breaking stats, so stop sending email everytime
stats is broken asking if that's why.

Hmmm... Zo is het uiteindelijk anders wél gegaan

En op het moment dat ie het schreef, was de winnende key al wel geflusht!

Meer zelfs, ze hadden het zelfs al door dat de winnende key geflusht was ! Want in hun announcement lees je :

On 14-Jul-2002, a relatively characterless PIII-450 in Tokyo returned
the winning key to the distributed.net keyservers. The key
0x63DE7DC154F4D03 produces the plaintext output:

The unknown message is: some things are better left unread

Unfortunately, due to breakage in scripts (dbaker's fault, naturally)
on the keymaster, this successful submission was not automatically
detected. It sat undiscovered until 12-Aug-2002. The key was
immediately submitted to RSA Labs and was verified as the winning key.

Ze wisten het dus "al" (lees : nog maar ) op 12 Aug... ok, ze moesten 'm nog verifieren bij RSA maar goed...
