Adding to Qiaochu’s point, Yoda Timers scale to pretty much any difficulty. There’s a vast generalization which really works for me of the form: “take any given thing, imagine (inside view) the shortest possible time span in which a human being could do it, and set a timer to do it in that time.” You might say Hammertime is me setting myself a 30-day timer to solve instrumental rationality.
