16.3, due on December 4

1. I didn't really understand the algorithm for factoring using elliptic curves. You just choose random curves until one of them works for you? How long do you wait before you deem one ineffective?

2. This section kind of felt like a lot of random things about the elliptic curve factoring algorithm without actually doing a good job of explaining how the algorithm itself works. But it could have been there and just went all over my head.
