Words cannot prove my claim of speed. But a few intermediate results may
alert you to the possibility that a dream of a shadow of my solver actually
exists.
All of the 52-card-flourish deals among the MS 32K have been found and solved.
MS deal 28527 is solvable in 17 (robust) moves.
"Cat in the sack." I like that. My solver now has a name: "Cat in the Sack".
Thank you.
