Discards are the useful part:\n    - keep      0.300862  d2 reaches 349 (record 1160); AlphaEvolve reached 200 unaided and 380 with a hint\n    - discard   0.002454  d3 reaches 319 against a record of 130000\n    - discard     0.0038  cm3 reaches 485 against a record of 127645\n    - discard        356  best character construction for cm3 (Jacobi symbol mod 7, a_7 = -1): shorter than the DFS\n    - discard        272  same for modulus 3; no modulus tested passed 1000, so the C=3 records are not characters\n    - keep      0.326779  full set at the default seed\n    - keep      0.318135  full set at seed-b\n    - keep      0.318327  full set at seed-c; claim is the held-out mean 0.318231, not the default-seed figure\n"}
