From watching the linked video, and going by the given informal definition for NP-Problems "hard to compute, easy to verify" I think of it this way:
You can not compute the secret number efficiently, only the keeper of the secret knows it. So the number is indeed hard to compute. But can you easily verify a solution? Sure you can ask the keeper and he can tell you the answer, but then you didn't verify it yourself. If you count on the secret keepers cooperation he could also just tell you the number, making it easy to compute.

With the market cap beeing $360.000.000[0], and only 2% beeing in circulation, the value of the stolen tokens seems to be higher than the value of all coins in circulation.
2% of $360,000,000 are $7,200,000 and the hacker stole more than eight million.
Or did I get this wrong somehow?

The first time I read your post, I thought you meant that producers of legal marihuana were now getting into poppy seeds, hoping for further decriminalization.
Maybe others missunderstood you too.

I think I remember allowing them to watch Thursday Night Football on Twitter. I can't find anything about third-party cookies and tnf.twitter.com on Google though.

Apprentices in Germany spend part of their work week in school. The €500-800 aren't really for 37.5 hour weeks.
Apprentices are however exempted from the minimum wage.

Shouldn't that be += in the third example?
