The Impossible Task


Vaguely inspired by a random encounter at one of those "guess the jellybeans in the jar" stands for a chance at winning $500... in tutor lessons. I mean, has anyone actually won in those contests? Better yet, would the cost of amassing resources to ensure success (e.g. recruiting enough people to brute-force every single number between 0 and 1000000) exceed the reward of actually succeeding? Because then you've just won, but inherently lost a whole lot of money trying to make money in the first place, if you get what I mean.
