And world record for an average solution is 30 seconds ( you can find it in the same link )....So 1051200 combinations can be arrived in an year... Diving 46 digit number by 7 digit number gives 38/39 digit years to solve the puzzle and resolve the mystery.... So Yes, 20 years is not enough to solve the mystery in a systematic and scientific way....
