This often happens with other polyomino puzzles. I am only echoing this in case it is significant to anyone writing software for a solution.

It "only" took me 13 minutes and 28 seconds. I told you I was good! Good luck to all in this quest! - Ron << File: ATT00013.htm >> _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
