2Authored explanation
The lexicographically first maximizing sign vector under the artifact's mask order is \[ (-1,1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1,-1,-1,-1,1,1,-1,1). \] Its distinct roots in \(\mathbb F_{101}\) are \[ \{20,30,43,47,63,64,66,72,75,93,94,96\}. \] The exhaustive calculation splits the 30 signs into two blocks of 15. It evaluates all 32,768 assignments for each block at all 101 field elements, then checks every one of the \(32{,}768^2=2^{30}\) pairs. The complete root-count histogram has two vectors with 12 roots, 50 with 10 roots, and no vector with 11 roots or more than 12. The exhaustive artifact supplies the full histogram and source.
