It seems to me Olympia is a simple table lookup for the input, the argument he uses to place it in the oracle camp seems invalid to me, he posits that he is able to construct a lookup table that contains the result of the halting problem... and because such table is a lookup table, all lookup tables are then oracle... that doesn't seem correct to me.
