Obviously it's even worse. The first guess was after 41866110000/1500 candidates. The second guess was after another (121446928728-41866110000)/1499 candidates, and so on. This is impossible to keep track of in the code but we could add a simple counter for it, and Solar has mentioned plans on doing so.
