How many iterations of the MD5 algorithm, performed on the hash emitted by the previous hashing, and using an arbitrary initial string, would be needed for the sum to begin to loop over past values?
Prizes:
Participation ribbon: Worst case time.
Bronze plaque: Best case time.
Silver trophy: Average time.
Gold statue: Proof of all of the above.
1000 tons of Platinum: Find an input that will loop in under 100K iterations.
Sussman's head in a jar of formaldehyde: Find an input that will loop in only 100 iteration.
A ticket to Gensokyo and a free Touhou: Find an input that will loop in only 2 iterations.
