Aha! That's when it must have started cheating... ;)

Eleven years is just too long for a bot to go without
any skill improvement. We all really need and deserve
better. Come on gang, let's make an effort. I will be
glad to contribute my part.

The one prior to 1.00 that I have is 0.15 from 2006.

Were there really nothing for seven years in between
until 2013? Even so, eleven years since then is ten
times worse considering that knowledge and technology
grows exponentially. :(

The reason I asked, is because I wondered if I should
run some of my experiment against a pre-1.00 version.

I don't even know why or how it would help but I just
love to ask questions and do experiments, just to see
if something will explode! :)

I think my hand grenades already have done considerable
damage to your so-called "cube skill theory", even if
you all are in denial of it, but I think I have bigger
bombs coming up real soon...
