"Then there's two roads we can take from here. The first one is that I transmit a specification of a problem, in a simple programming language, which is too hard for our civilization to solve, but which we could easily verify a solution for. That strategy was designed for higher-bandwidth First Contact channels than this one seems to be. But it's the diamond standard if you do have a good way of receiving a higher-bandwidth transmission, and you have fast programming capabilities, and powerful computers."

"Speaking into my head would be interesting, but not full verification from the standpoint of greater Civilization; I'd prefer you avoided that for now. On our own plan, there's two roads we can take from here. The first one is that I transmit a specification of a problem, in a simple programming language, which is too hard for our civilization to solve, but which we could easily verify a solution for.
