I solved this diagram some twenty years ago, and about 13 years ago I gave it to
the Mach III master, a dedicated unit on a Motorola 68000 16 bit processor at 16
mgh. It solved it. Yes I know, not a programme on a PC.

I can run the test again to see how long it took. I believe it wasn't very long?

The Mach III also solved this problem in a relatively short order!

I'm betting many software programmes will not see the draw as quickly as the
old Mach III!
