It reached the age of 107 on the Intel hill before the Great Core Dump, and is now hovering about 10th on the standard Pizza Hill. The stone hogs most of the processes, so even if a copy of the paper gets stunned, the stone can often grind out a win. If all runs smoothly, the stone will do an addition core-clear and then commit suicide. The bits of imp-killing paper then take over. The key of this paper is that it must be virulent enough to survive attacks form both the stone and the other program, even when slowed down.
