Original solution: "a LOT! you will HAVE to use a computer program to figure this one out or spend years trying to without using a computer" Of course, this being perplexus, we did use a computer: levik's proposed algorithm Cheradenine's answers Cheradenine's program code written in Java, that simulates potential games. This is optimised for speed and memory efficiency, with good comments.
