> One of the "rules" is that nobody is allowed to talk about how he won.

If the goal of this thought experiment is to convince people that an AI can't be contained in a box, why keep his method secret?

And if only he, his friends, and supporters can verify that he has won, that's not a very strong claim.

I think it may have gone something like this: "If you let me out, (and don't tell anyone how it came to pass) it will scare enough people into not letting the real AI out"

Otherwise, there would be no need to keep the data secret.
