why else would she have kept from not doing something

Not all of the solutions presented themselves to the winner all at once.

She had to try, then try again. Sometimes, the solution would evolve only after a handful of trial and error episodes.

What was a key ingredient to her success was the perseverance and dedication towards getting to the end. If we all could have that commitment, a whole lot more would get accomplished in the world today.

I guess that's about all there is to be said about that.

In other news, more exo-planets are being discovered, I just read an article about one having been found 73 light years away. 73 ly is about 69E+13 km. Some of our fastest moving man made celestial objects can go about 100km/s which is 360,000km/h. To travel 69E+13 km at 360,000km/h would take 191667000 hours.

191667000 hours is 7986125 days which is 21865 years which is 219 centuries.

I guess we won't be getting there any time soon.
