The current board has been changed to 34x23/40. This should be solvable, definitely. And Yariv extended this board's deadline by one week (07/07/13). Good luck!

@EWQM.: No problem. Seems that you like the board

.

Btw, thanks to Harryck for not submitting a time in S54/T8. I was on vacation and couldn't play, but without Harryck submitting a time as well, I managed to win a season despite of only seven submissions. And, I managed to win again a season - at the age of 36, which might be the highest age of a season winner?!

oh come on, lutz an dstephan...admittedly my sub50 took no more than 15min and sub30 should be possible for several div1 players. but as much as i like challenging board like this one, i simply don't have the time to play more.

Sub30 will be hard for me, at least, but not impossible, of course.

hint: there are roughly 1 trillion different possible boards (50 choose 14). there are roughly 23 billion different boards with a 10 in the top row. chances for a board with a 10 in th etop row are about 1 in 40-41. a good strategy might be to only play such boards. play nf and solve the remaining columns. most of them should be easily solvable, 1-2, 2-1, 1-1 being the only cases that require you to look closer. in these cases i simply guess.
