Wikipedia link?

Despite the heading on the task page claiming otherwise, there does not appear to be a wikipedia entry for "100 prisoners" --Thundergnat (talk) 00:56, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

big speed up

Thanks to (userid) Craigd (using zkl), his observation/optimization of: if one prisoner fails, they all do.

A big decrease in time used.
