I made a couple of new Solitaire TASes that each are faster than the published TAS by different metrics: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/71423838930932281 This one I put in the last input at 2241 frames, but including the time it takes for the cards to move automatically to the foundations it's about 100 frames slower in actually getting all of the cards placed. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/71426279299340207 Input on this one ends on a later frame than the published TAS (2468 vs 2273) but is overall faster by 25 frames. Of these I'm guessing the 2nd one is probably considered the more suitable one for publication.

I didn't have a look, but how many frames did you need to wait to manipulate the card layout? No one except me cares anymore how TASers end their TASes, so you can use whatever ending criteria you like. However, it would be nice to provide a version of the TAS that has the music on. I miss that.

Not sure, I just kept the intro from the previous publication because I agree with their decision that this is the fastest possible board.

Great work. Speaking for myself, I prefer the "final input" ending criterion. At Post #506089 you mentioned using a solver; can you say more about how it works?
