In Response To: New: 5 x 3 bg puzzle(SPOILERS) (Nack Ballard)

... and now I see where I went wrong. In trying to hit 2 men on the same move I assumed that it must be done with a 33 or 44 and overlooked that it could be done with a 66 if I first split to the 23pt! This allows the following game:

31: 8/7 8/5	44: 6/2(4)
33: 24/21(2) 6/3 5/2	11: 24/23* 8/7(3)
44: b/21 13/9(3)	66: 24/18* 23/17* 13/7(2)
44: b/21(2) 13/9(2)	44: 18/10 17/13 6/2
33: 6/3(4)	33: 13/10(4)

A truly wonderful puzzle!
