Like you, I had also noticed (to my delight) that there would be additional solutions (more than two actually) if only doublets were allowed as an opening roll.

Can you verify my suspicion that Black's rolls must be a 55 and 65? To get 31 pips that works and it seems unlikely that blue got a 66 with 7 other pips or got hit.

For temporary posting purposes, I verify that Blue does not get hit, and his two rolls are either (a) 55 and 65, or (b) 66 and a 7-pip roll, in one order or the other. Momentarily, I will e-mail you whether it is (a) or (b). If someone else asks here, I'll e-mail that person similarly, or eventually post whether it is (a) or (b).

I will also take this opportunity to mention that technically there are two legitimate solutions, though they are very similar.
