1. Why does it work that we can factor n using elliptic curves? I am trying to follow the logic that when we find 2P we find the inverse and if it is a number not 1, then it is our factor? How does that work? I feel like they didn't really explain it in the book very well.
2. I really hope that we didn't save a super easy method for last when finding factors! I don't think this will work for all cases, but I think it would be really unfair if it turns out that it is so much easier to factor this way! It definitely seemed easier in the example they gave us!
