I've got the book Nikolai, and tonight after the office closes my goal is to
dive into your code and Robert's code and find out why. Your knowledge on
this amazes me!

'my' version avoids a lot of unnecessary backtracking under certain
conditions.  I can't really delve into it further, but if you haven't

and full of good knowledge.
