We'll narrow this down to 8-10 boards

How many different random seeds?
~100-1000, depending on time it all takes (will maximize # seeds to fit in 4 hr run)

We'll use a different configuration today...
D=40, R=8,N=7, Seed=1,291,659,224,861

G1: 1023

What did we learn today?
John: Cover the board!
Daniel: We are overly conservative when estimating the number of creatures instantiated
Lauren: We are overly optimistic with the same thing!
Flavio: Better to be home early than to be home late!
