"Whoa, a 5-block puzzle in Solana? I'd love to see the exploit, maybe it's a bug in one of the newer libraries. Anyone got a link to the GitHub or a summary of the exploit?"

"Dude, just got in on this thread, but from what I gathered, it seems like someone might have solved the mystery. Anyone got a TL;DR on the 5-block puzzle? Is it related to the recent Solana exploit?"

"lol what's going on with Solana? I thought they fixed those bugs a while back. Can someone explain the 5-block thing and how it got hacked?"

"lol, nice to see someone finally shedding light on this mystery. I've been reading about this hack for a while now, and it's crazy how simple the solution is - 5 consecutive blocks with a '0' hash. Guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks, right?"
