Midcontest analysis by Lucio

Lucio Cetto has written the midcontest analysis. In his analysis, Lucio reviews 3 different winning entries, comparing the different approaches to the game’s goals. He also offers his own solutions created using a graph created by Sidney and additional graph theory algorithms and also a package and purge % approach.

Take a look at Lucio’s analysis and you may find some food for thought on new approaches to your own solution!

    The findsolitairepackages function does not work with even a small problem, such as the first board in the testsuit, just because the size of G is too large to be handled

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
