Don't know for sure, sometime soon.

Maybe 10 hours total.  I have not discovered any problems in my searches, but I
did see a few strange things.  For instance, the rotated solution will sometimes
be different than the one that a chess engine will find when left on its own to
analyze the rotated position.   However, if you analyze the rotated solution, it
will have about the same score as the original problem.  It seems that chess
engine evaluations are not fully symetric for the most part.

I doubt it.
