Just wondering

Is it not possible for setters of the round to make alternate accounts and win and claim the prize?

    For TRIPWAYS, I tried modifying Berlekamp-Massey to use FFT but it is unclear how can lines 69-72 in the mull function be computed using FFT. Any pointers on that?

      This part is polynomial mod polynomial and it can be computed by polynomial division.
