This was really a nice riddle.
I learned much about understanding and implementing a BFS algo.
Thank you for that.

But I waited for the new riddle to appear :\
I guess I have to wait another few days.
But please don't say 'Tomorrow\'s quiz is about..' and similar.
Well I was bored today :>

I get an 403, when I try to touch /quiz61.html from rubyquiz.com
Maybe it's is correct that I get that response, maybe not.

Don't let us wait too long for that dice riddle :>
