What is the hash of "ePjNTUhitHkL"?

Regards, Martin P.S. It took me roughly 86h to compute 150 strings colliding for the 64-bit hash function. You should have used pypy, should have been faster. It was actually a C program - I doubt PyPy would have been faster. Perhaps my algorithm wasn't good enough if you think this is slow. Regards, Martin

That was entirely a joke, sorry if a bad one :)

I seriously doubt it'll be faster.
