Blue starts:

43, 24/21 13/19

63, 24/18 13/10

66, 21/15*/9 9/3(2)

51, B/24 18/13

Blue's two rolls should total 31 pips, so either 55 + 65 of 66 + either 43, 52 or 61.

White needs to get hit along the way, and the amount of pips lost by the hit is equal to the total number of pips of the two rolls combined. Thinking about where White can get hit, and what White's last roll and play could be (entering ace, other checker to the midpoint) and you know that the first play of white should at least have had one half coming from the mid. The rest is all effort and application ;-)
