Bitcoin hash puzzle script

We've found three unspent puzzle scripts that require finding SHA-256 hashes:

c4b46c5d88327d7af6254820562327c5f11b6ee5449da04b7cfd3710b48b6f55 0 OP_SHA256 None OP_EQUAL
702c36851ed202495c2bec1dd0cefb448b50fafd3a5cdd5058c18ca53fc2c3d1 0 OP_SHA256 None OP_EQUAL
fb01987b540ec286973aac248fab643de82813af452d958056fee8de9f4535ab 0 OP_SHA256 None OP_EQUAL

All three are also mentioned at: bitcoincashresearch.org/t/p2sh32-a-long-term-solution-for-80-bit-p2sh-collision-attacks/750/23 in addition to some OP_HASH256 ones. The thread manages to identify one of the OP_HASH256 ones as a fake Genesis block hash.

They can be viewed disassembled at:

They were mined on 01 Apr 2014, 02 Apr 2014 and 03 Apr 2014, suggesting a possible April fool's reference?

Each is worth 0.0002 BTC, which is only 20$ as of 2024, so it's not worth much effort beyond the fun aspect of it. But it is fun!
