I don't know about that.  I only thought of the possibility given the
problem as posed, and so, I think, would Penrose.  But If I had been
programming a computer, would I have anticipated such an attack?  I
think my own thoughts are always a few orders of magnitude better than
(even my :-) ) programming.
