If you are maintaining a list of unsolvable 8x4 deals, then you might
want to see if the following deals are included. They were missing
from two lists that I encountered.
7705172, 7748399, 7777900, and 7795097.
Along the same lines, I consider deal 24795893 to be technically
intractable yet realistically unsolvable. After several attempts to
solve it with a number of varying approaches, my solver was never able
to move two cards and was only able to move 13 cards to the home cells
-- not all at the same time. The remainder of the time, it simply
reorganized cards in the columns and free cells.
