log(log(Universe deaths)) is an interesting graph axis unit.

I feel there is enough in the article to build an image of the game in your head: I'm imagining a game game where two people trying to destroy the other person's chestnut by whirring and hitting the chestnuts on the end of strings. Now I'm going to go check my mental image against wikipedia.

I think it's a typo, and it should be (x & c1) | (x & c2).

I'm assuming it's the "I'm sure it'll be fine to read/write this unsynchronized, what's the worst that could happen?" locking strategy.
