Claude Solves 25-Year-Old Puzzle and Advances 1932 Number Theory Conjecture

Claude found the answer to the 25-year-old 'seeds' puzzle and rigorously verified it itself, with internal reasoning logs going viral. Separately, a researcher used a $200 Claude account and a cron job to have it autonomously crack a cryptographic puzzle and advance a 1932 number theory conjecture.
