Nice going Dietmar. Only a few things left to do I reckon. 1. Find an Eternity solution with all the hint pieces in the right place. 2. Solve Brendan's...

Perhaps 10 days / solution per 1GHZ was too pessimistic? There is still an open question: The theoretical solution rate computed with additional pieces is by...
