I recently discovered a site where solutions were posted for the first 1,000,000 8x4 FreeCell deals. He included a graph showing the distribution of the number of moves for the solveable deals in the first 32,000 deals. I found it interesting that the graph showed a nice bell curve, and that none of the solutions went past 64 moves.
I know from experience that the solveable deals in the first 25,000,000 deals can be solved in 64 moves or less, but it takes my solver longer to find them than to simply limit the number of moves to 80 -- my default.
Has anyone tried to get this site's solver to limit the number of moves? I'd be interested if someone were to investigate solutions limited to 64 moves maximum.
