I don't think a program has to solve all Nolot positions (or any other test
suite) within tournament time control to have GM strength.
I bet several GM's would not solve all of them (provided they didn't know them
already which they do...) either.
[Remember the notorious Qe3 which both Kasparov and Deeper Blue missed, yet most
PC programs find it.]

In fact, if a program found just 3 or 4 of them in 10 minutes, it would probably
be at par with many GM's (unless it was tuned for the suite).
