The creation time for these puzzles is exponential relative to their size. This puzzle took several hours to create. My only consolation is that it will take you much longer to solve it. :twisted:

Solving tips:
I counted 230 rounds (each round containing all moves that can be deducted from the current state of the grid)
There are quite a few rounds where only a single placement is possible. Good luck finding those needles...
All but 3 grids can be solved with basic techniques.
To solve the last 3 grids, a chain spanning 2 grids is required. This may sound horrible, but this is supposed to be a horrible puzzle.

Enjoy,
Ruud

Ruud One grid down, only 84 to go,I hope its right. Why did I make a comment about gross(144).

Next you'll be making a Diag DOAG.
I have 81 brain cells left, I think.

Be still, beating heart :D

I thought MOAG was big enough but this - this is a trip to the printers for a very. very large sheet of paper!

I am going to have very pleasant dreams now, wondering how big GMOAG and GDOAG (grandma and grandpa) might be. :D

Thanks, Ruud
