In Response To: No Pip Wastage (TarHeelFan)

Congratulations to Stick and TarHeelFan for finding 19-roll solutions!

Still lower is possible. To help convince yourself of this, you can try...

(a) Doing it for just one side (Blue, for example).

(b) How many crossovers bear off from the 24pt? From the 13pt? From the 8pt? From the 6pt? (Add them up and divide by four to find the theoretical minimum number of rolls.)

(c) If you can do it by saving the non-doublet for last, then the same set of rolls can be used playing the non-doublet first.
