No more low-hanging fruit? :-)
I’m glad to see you tackling the face-turning puzzles.

Here is my list of puzzles that have turned out to be particularly nasty:

* hyp {3,8} 8C V0:0:1 (Eduard - "Barbicontello")
* hyp {3,8} 10C V0:0:1 (hidden 3-cycle)
* hyp {5,5} 6C non-orientable V1.33:0:0 (Eduard)
* eucl klein {3,6} 8C V0:0:1 (Eduard - tiny size / big challenge)
* hyp {8,3} 10C F0.67:0:1 (Andrey)
* hyp {8,4} 9C E1:0:0 (Melinda)

Please keep us informed when you find particularly difficult or
interesting ones. Maybe once we identify all the exceptional puzzles we
can create a "grans slam" prize for anyone that solves them all.
