So the amoeba can solve an NP-hard problem faster than any of our computer algorithms. How does this happen? The Keio scientists aren’t sure, exactly.

From what I understand, the amobea doesn't solve the NP hard problem, it finds an approximate solution, which is not necessarily (probably not) a NP hard problem. It remains an impressive discovery however.

nature is full of "cheat" methods that find really goo approximations to many problems. amobeas just needed a better solution than its sister amobea, not a perfect one.

This will add a new definition to computer virus!
