Neat / good read. 

Reinforces the complexity and cost in such a task, even with the 8/12 known seed words.

The longer they need to check, the less likely the prize is theirs, the more likely the cost is no longer worth it. 

It’s neat for a set contest like this, but in practicality this won’t crack your average user’s private key before we all die. 

It's the possible mnemonics and days to chect that does it for me, getting it solve in 30 hours is great but imagine the possibilities of checking for more than a week?
