Mining Zcash with pencil and paper

Just like how this website shows how to mine bitcoin with pencil and paper, is there a video for zcash? I really want to understand it.

totally unfeasible - as a preparation only you need to calculate 1 million of BLAKE2b hashes, where each hash requires 384 additions, 384 xors and 384 bitshifts with 64-bit numbers (=20 decimal digits).

even to validate one Zcash solution (one Zcash block) you will need 512 hashes.
