My method has nothing to do with bruteforce and I am still going to keep trying to solve,  even if its only just 1 puzzle that i manage to solve eventually, i would still be happy with that.  I will admit though that ive lost more of my motivation to try to solve now.   At the current rate though of taking about 2 months to solve every puzzle by bram,  I guess that still leaves me with a few more years of time to keep trying to solve some of the remaining puzzles that bram isnt working on yet.  I'll take those odds,  still better than nothing I guess.  Dont you all go giving him even more hints though or he might solve every remaining puzzle in just a few days.   All puzzle solvers must keep hope alive for us remaining solvers with terrible hardware.   LOL!
