We're here to prove Kate Brewster wrong. We present to you, then, a coordinated Brute force. The community has proven itself quite capable of pushing out brute force efforts where needed before. Here's your chance to do a little homebrew anarchy.
Card 251, The Thirteenth Labour, (Showing the Jack of Hearts), can be seen in all it's glory here:
The Text
It's a regular frog in the blender.

Solving this b hand is, of course, not going to happen.
The Client
In the unfiction forums, Brian Enigma saves the day again. Here is his windows client: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=203466#203466
It works like this: Open a command prompt, and give a command which looks like this:
./rccrypt 00000000dead0000 65536
It will then try the key dead0000, dead0001, ...., deadbeee, deadbeef, all the way to deadffff. The key has to be 16 characters of hex.
Work Units
Work units are 16777214 keys long. That's FFFFFF in hex. On my machine -- A 3Ghz with 500 Megs of RAM -- that should take about a half an hour. Therefore, to do the first work unit, I would run the following command:
rccrypt 0000000000000001 16777214
(there's minor zero offset differences which make this a little off, and i would actually start at 002, or make the first unit bigger. That's not the point.)
The next work unit is:
rccrypt 00000000000FFFFFF 16777214
The next work unit is:
rccrypt 00000000001FFFFFF 16777214
The next work unit is:
rccrypt 00000000002FFFFFF 16777214
See?
Hmm...
What follows is .... the gravity of the situation setting in.
<Scott> was just working out some numbers on the rccypt tool.
<Scott> 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 possible keys. assuming work units are 16777214 keys long (which should take a half an hour to work through), That breaks into 1,099,511,758,848 work units.
<Scott> Which works out to 62,757,520 years.
<Scott> suddenly, having people track theeir work units doesnt seem so important.
<Scott> I know people have been saying it would be very very very long and slow and take countably infinite hours to do. But seeing it in action ...
<Scott> man.
<Scott> Oh!! Good news!!
<Scott> I was off on my calculations!!
<Scott> I didn't account fFor leap Years!
<Scott> it would only take 62,714,565.3 years!!!!
<Scott> **whew** what a relief!
