This isn't really a puzzle, though. A puzzle requires intellectual curiosity and creativity to solve.

This was just a race to see who could burn the most CPU/GPU cycles the fastest.

Even when a real puzzle has a monetary reward for solving it, a big component of the reward is the solving itself. For this, the reward is just money.


I agree with you. I think it's a bit wasteful and dumb, I just don't find it either sick or confusing.
