am I the only one that even having read the article still doesn't understand what the :elephant: is a Dedekind Number / Serie?
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That's the magic of them! :confused::confused::confused: (I guess @chris-maunder knew what they were? He sent that article over to us)

It's just a number representing the number of possible solutions to a well defined but computationally tricky problem. It's how big kids get to show off their big computers :) I thought it was cool how one of the contenders used basic matrix operations and then just lent on the last 10 years of AI development to hotwire his solution.
