- For each pale flame passed for flame x, add one to its flame value.
- Guess the right flames at the spaces where leaves point to empty spaces in the outer border (top outer, left inner).
- Ignore the two flames pointed at (2x left outer). Ignore their preceding pale flames.
Too many fudge steps I think. You may have part of a solution, but many of those steps seems way too far fetched. Who knows, probably putting my foot in my mouth right before the solution gets posted. FYI, getting a "1FLAME" address doesn't indicate you were close to a solution, just random chance and likely the result of a brute force search. Changing one bit in the PK will result in an entirely different address.
