Interesting, but I wish the author gave more details for a bold claim.

The author links to the official results page[1] where the 7th place contestant is called "16Systems" (the domain name of the author is 16s.us, and the blog is "Copyright 2012 16 Systems".

Clicking on the PGP key of the 7th placed contestant[2] shows that person did things that match what the blog claimed.

Additionally, the software the author used is linked in the blog post.

Exactly what "more details" do you require?

I, for one, am curious about the details of how he did it.
