    Their best strategy is to realize that OP is not creative or smart enough to come up with his own riddles and to just type the problem into a search engine.

    Yes OP, we all watched the new Veritasium video. Very creative.

    My very first "real" program was essentially the Enigma cypher improved. And I didn't even know it. I was a kid, learned about Caesar cyphers, made one which had n^256(n) (the longer it got, the more possible combinations for each subsequent character there were) combinations for each character, password and all. Knew of the Enigma machine but not how it worked, turns out I reinvented it out of whole cloth but with dramatic improvements. I come back to it now and again 15 years later and still am impressed how clever it was. Never figured out how to monetize it though.

      Yes. I thought about a fairly clever indexing algorithm but looking deeper into the literature I found that someone had already published a paper with the exact same idea back in the 90s.

          Ok, brainlet. The same thing happened when I re-created quickselect after learning about quicksort.

    Damn I've heard the answer to this, but never tried simulating it. 30% seems damn high.

    I have 3-4 patents that are essentially algorithms I have invented.

    It's actually pretty easy to do once you are tried, and then start thinking a lot about a specific area, that others have unlikely to thought much about. For example, im sure if you started thinking about TV antennas for a few months, you could probably invent a few patents.

      Patents are not generally inventions (and usually not even improvements, and many are just words and not real things).

    Enough money flows through my algorithm that I could probably cause a flash crash if I tried. So that's pretty cool, I guess.

    All the greatest algorithms were invented by code monkeys just trying to get the job done
    Algorithms related to 3D graphics? Some guy at SGI trying to make their dedicated teapot rendering program faster that eventually traveled through a game of telephone to 3DFX who told it to game devs
    Algorithms related to financial transactions or large databases? Jerry in accounting was trying to make Excel do things it was never meant to do and luckily someone who actually knows how to use a computer saw it and started using the algorithm elsewhere
