Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by wombatilim.#11: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jan 12, 2023
Andrew, I have a hard time distinguishing between moderate and deep lookaheads sometimes. It gets grey to me on some of the "number of logical steps required", but other people (Joe and Gator come to mind) are very good at determining where that line is. They can explain every time where it crosses the threshold. I agree with you (and the robot) that this definitely moderate, but I don't think the line is subjective or semantics.
