Well, looks like this week is gonna be "Clean Out the Olde Runt Backlog" Week. Folder is gettin way too jammed full, so we gotta let some of these grownup doggies out of the pound. This pooch was written back in 2021 ...
*** REVISION ALERT *** Yep. the first two test solves have convinced M&A that 2-Down in "Get the Upper Hand" really sucks. So, I've made an adjustment, hopefully in time for test solver @Kirk's go at it. New version is posted below...
I will be on the road with perhaps spotty cell coverage for the next few days. I have scheduled a new runt blog post to drop in 48 hrs as we are almost due for a new post. Look for it on Tuesday.

*** REVISION ALERT ***
DeleteYep. the first two test solves have convinced M&A that 2-Down in "Get the Upper Hand" really sucks.

New version is posted below...

I will be on the road with perhaps spotty cell coverage for the next few days. I have scheduled a new runt blog post to drop in 48 hrs as we are almost due for a new post. Look for it on Tuesday.
