//! # Dueling Generators
//!
//! Multithreaded approach using worker threads to generate batches of numbers for judging.
//! Part one can be checked in parallel, but part two must be sent to a single thread as the
//! indices must be checked in order.
//!
//! The sequence of numbers are [modular exponentiation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_exponentiation)
//! so we can jump to any location in the sequence, without needing to know the previous numbers.
