    himself fucker.
    I agree, and I'm willing to show why I found it obvious.

    If you dump into 16 first, you're putting the most fluid on the field and opening up the most useful routes, imo. dumping into 8 only lets you to dump 8 into something else, dumping into 11 just lets you break off 3.

    With 16, you can get to 7 by playing with the 5s.

    (0/8, 0/11, 16/16)
    (0/8, 11/11, 5/16)
    (5/8, 11/11, 0/16)
    (5/8, 0/11, 11/16)
    (5/8, 0/11, 16/16)
    (5/8, 11/11, 5/16)
    (8/8, 11/11, 2/16)
    (0/8, 11/11, 2/16)
    (2/8, 11/11, 0/16)
    (2/8, 0/11, 11/16)
    (2/8, 0/11, 16/16)
    (2/8, 11/11, 5/16)
    (7/8, 11/11, 0/16)

    Anyway, it's obvious to me because 16 is the best guess for doing something useful and the first useful thing to do with it is to start collecting 5s.

    And I recognize that since I don't know the answer I don't know that dumping into 16 first is the best way about it, but this is where I am after paying some good attention.
