Travel to russia, get big wrench and hit Durov with it until he gives up his password. Win 200k.

In all seriousness, im interested to see if anyone can crack this.

If I remeber correctly the Russians indeed have a special term of getting the crypto key in such manner: Thermorectal Cryptanalysis.
A Russian friend of mine mentioned playing in an MMO with another guy called 'Krusk' for a year or so before realising that the other guy was also Russian, and 'Krusk' was the anglicised version of the Russian word for "the sound bones make when you crush them"...
He is in US now.
Yep, in San Jose.
