I agree ... and acknowledge your vast experience in solving FreeCell
problems. A lot of the solutions in the catalog have your name next to
them!
I (maybe inaccurately) assumed that very few people have actually
tried to manually solve the deals above 32,000. Therefore, I
considered it very unlikely that there are any lists of difficult
deals solved manually. That's why I presumed solution length might be
the best available criteria for judging the remaining deals as
difficult. I did not mean to imply that it was the best overall criteria!
