I have no Idea how to optimize this and am looking forward to the other solutions that probably run in sub-single-second times. I like my solution because it was simple to write which I hadn't managed in the previous days, runs in 17 seconds with no less than 100MB of RAM.
Haha, same! Mine runs in a bit under 4s compiled, but uses a similar 100M-ish peak. Looks like we used the same method.
Maybe iterate all the secrets in parallel, and keep a running note of the best sequences so far? I'm not sure how you'd decide when to throw away old candidates, though. Sequences might match one buyer early and another really late.
