 This is a rather simple Python script which makes use of Selenium's ability
 to interact with the web browser to create a sophisticated bot capable of solving
-most questions with absolute precision. With this implementation, an article would be
-solved in roughly 3.5 seconds, and after some benchmarking, it was found that 4 million
-points could be obtained within the timespan of 24 hours, if the script is continuously
-running of course.
+most questions with absolute precision.
 
 Some awesome features:
 * Lightweight
 * Runs in the background
 * Solves nearly all questions
-* Gain 4 million points per day
+* Multi threaded
+* Gain 12 million points per day (On 6 Threads)
 * Instant setup and configurable
