Superb work, Bard! One of your best pieces of setting! Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks P.N. You continue to be one of my biggest fans, so I take that compliment very highly. I trust you and your family are doing well. For me I am about to only have one of my kids on the east coast, 2 of them are about to move back to this side of the country... For now...

Tough to see them go, but proud to know they've been brought up with the ability to handle life on their own. That day is fast approaching for me. God bless.

Tough break in - excellent puzzle! Great job combining these 2 rulesets.
~~
I originally had a different value using this break-in but with the non-consecutive rule it broke and after several hours I realized I could not get it to work. Then when I tried these values, I was super excited that I found a strong albeit difficult path to the solution.
I am glad you enjoyed it. It makes the effort to set it that much sweeter.
