One for the mathematicians: MD5 by hand?
Jun. 9th, 2010 02:19 pmThere's a geohashing acheivement ribbon for "no batteries required" - geohashing without a GPS. Clearly there's an "ultimate no batteries" where the hasher buys a copy of the FT to get the Dow seed, calculates the hash by hand, and then uses paper maps to navigate to the destination.
So, mathematicians, how does a person calculate an MD5 hash by hand?
Is it the sort of bitwise juggling you could do with a giant Mancala board and limitless patience?
