Impressive. Wonder if we'll get something earth-shattering, like factoring, or maybe it is already solved just not public yet.

Wow! And it's only been a few days since one with rank 30 was found.

Apparently the open question is whether you can achieve arbitrarily high ranks. And the username is "ranksunbounded" so presumably the answer is yes, and they're teasing it this way?

I expect the name is more of a joke, not a tease of some result they've yet to reveal.

Fuck this deliberate teasing and marketing. Call me when they are done.
