But no jigs yet!
Shifter solved it in about 3h 20m, which isn’t bad. It isn’t great either.
I have placed every piece but the last, so if worst comes to worse and I lose the solution, well, it’s obvious where that last piece goes.
I haven’t used Kvho to check my times for many levels, but just now I started it. I predict Kvho will solve it in less than five minutes.
It would be a vindication of sorts if it took longer, but I doubt that will happen.
Edit: Kvho solved it in 994 seconds.

where do you find this “kvho” program?
Careful Google searching will turn it up! That’s how I found it. If it’s still online somewhere anyway.
Even if you find it, I have to point out that it won’t work for you without a fair amount of effort. If you aren’t pretty comfortable with uncommented ‘C’ code, I doubt it will do you much good. There’s no user interface. It expects the input board and all the pieces coded correctly and fed into standard input.
If none of that deters you, its filename is ss.c. That should get you there. Kvho is the alias of the author.
Congratulations on 100…
I’m stuck on 26, and unless I can find enough free time to ever figure out any of the puzzles I get (I try and solve ‘em on paper, even moving pieces and compensating for losses and gains), seems I shall never solve it myself.
I don’t think the Neopets folks ever expected that anyone would be able to finish it up to level 100 without computer help.
