Hi guys,

I’m currently taking the challenge of {3,7} FT and solving it full throttle. Starting on Friday evening, I’ve used about 10 hours till now. All the large pieces have been solved and I’m going to worry about the tiny pieces from now. I hope I can get it done sometime on Sunday.

I don’t know if solutions with aids deserve your initial grand prize or not. But in either way, whenever a solution is very long, my feeling is basically the same: I start to question the meaning of doing it.
