gollark: I have enough storage capacity available to hold maybe 1e13 bits at home.
gollark: Even if I'm off by 6 OOM, 3.7e26 bits is *not tractable*.
gollark: The board state can be encoded in 101.4 bits. The optimal position for that board state can be encoded in a further 6 bits. This gives us 107.4 bits per state.
gollark: Interesting.
