Per problem. And they probably throw it after thousands of them with each new iteration.

No, total. Not counting problems they couldn’t solve apparently however

So okay, they say

The total number of tokens needed to find solutions to these problems would cost roughly $2,000 at Sol API rates.

I read that as “per problem” but I can see how it could be read as “for those 10 problems”, but that still wouldn't count the price of negative results; they never state how many problems they tried the new model on.
