My wording lacked clarity. I'm sorry.
I should have probably defined "difficult" as requiring 20% more moves
for a solution than a median/"typical" problem.
For example, in problems 1-500, some deals require only 28 moves to
solve; whereas others require 58 moves. The median is 41 moves. Problems
requiring 49 moves or more are what interest me. (These numbers are
subjective, but should still give reasonable insight into my objectives.)
