31bb5b7006 Solve 2016:14 p1-2 "One-Time Pad"
Lost 60 minutes due to misinterpreting this in p2:

> *whenever* you generate a hash

The code initially only did the 2016 stretching for
the triplet hash, not the quintet hash. By doing it
to both, pt 2 is solved.

Not sure the lru cache actually speeds anything up.
Many on the subreddit used the approach to generate
the quintet first and look backwards 1000 times
for a matching quintet (since quintets are more
rare than triplets), this will most likely speed
things up.

Also, this solution do not store the found keys.
Many other solutions do, I believe this is some
presumptions.
