    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13

    Algorithm

    Ok so I fixed my algorithm. If this is the board:

    12 8 4 1
    13 9 5 2
    14 10 6 3
    11 7

    then these are the possible solutions:

    1,6,8,2,7,14,5,12,10,4,13,11,3,9,1
    1,6,8,14,7,2,10,12,5,11,13,4,3,9,1
    1,6,13,4,3,11,5,12,10,2,8,14,7,9,1
    1,6,13,11,3,4,10,12,5,14,8,2,7,9,1

    112 in total! There are 960 possible moves of length 14. So the probability of winning is quite high at 0.12!

    Ok, so we're likely to end up with some unfinishable position but hey.
