You are stuck in a timeloop, but your memory also gets reset every loop; But you are able to preserve 1024 Bytes of information between each reset, how would you use this "memory buffer"? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Its basically like a cloud storage, and your local storage (your brain) gets wiped every loop. You can edit this file any time you want using your brain (you can be tied up and it still works). 1024 Bytes is all you get. Yes you read that right: BYTES, not KB, MB, or GB: 1024 BYTES

Lets just say, for this example: The loop is 7 days form a Monday 6 AM to the next Monday 5:59 AM.

How do you best use these 1024 Bytes to your advantage?

How would your strategy be different if every human on Earth also gets the same 1024 Bytes "memory buffer"?

I'm not hoping, I know that every possible 1024-character ASCII text file is going to be generated over the course of all this. I'm just hoping that one of them will tell me to do something that will get me out of the loop. If I reach the end of the possible 1024-character text files without escaping, that means that either the solution takes more than 1024 characters to encode or there is no solution at all.

It's important to increment the count and record it for next time before I read it, just in case one of those 1024-character strings contains an argument that convinces me to do something other than that.
