Woops -- I take that back. Hit it on the 11th ply though possibly not
for the right reason but unknown without the PV. Took about 4 hours 40
minutes. This box is about 3-4x slower than the P4 models out now so I'd
expect about 1 hour for the solution. That's a big difference from the
tiny cpu's Dan and Kathe Spracklen were running. I wouldn't expect
this problem to be much of an issue for today's crop of PC programs,
certainly nothing like even an hour.  Probably just a few minutes.
Wish there were other takers for this challenge. This is getting boring.
