I just invited Pierre Berloquin, and he will surely join us tomorrow.

Hugues, thank you for your dedication on this project !
Of course, we could finish faster by distributing the project, but since
you're so motivated, I don't think it's a good idea to recruit people.

BTW, it seems that you are pretty involved in distributed computations, as
your page explains:

I hope this kind of project will give you enough publicity to give you a job
(it was my intention to have a job with distributed projects, but in France,
this kind of business is impossible for the moment).

I'm strongly thinking about writing a distributed project to enumerate the
diagonal magic tours on 12*12.
It's trivial to have a working client without modification, but perhaps the
running time is too large with the start-end approach.
I'll implement Gunter's idea about the 34Mb table, to check if the c3-e6
tour has less explored positions.
