You have to wonder how many of those thousand plus are trivially different? I
am guessing given enough time, quacks could process it.
Give a man a fish, he will smell fishy. Teach a man to fish, and he will a
scrabble player.

to sim one of the games from the most recent Mid-Cities
tourney. In the game, my opponent went first, exchanged 4, and left me
to play with a rack of AGINT??.
When I input the game and let Quackle run a game report, my play simmed
2nd of the 11 choices, but how good was the play in reality?
There are 150 bingoes in that rack, plus 31 words that do not use
either of the blanks. By my calculations that makes 1144 candidate
plays, plus any reasonable exchanges. I tried simming a large number of
these plays, and even with the sim set to 3-ply, it was choking badly.
My machine is a Centrino Duo with 4MB L2 cache and 2GB of RAM running
Vista Home Premium - it's not spectacular by any stretch of the
imagination, but it's at least decent.
Is it possible to sim something this extensive? If so, what is the best
way of going about it?
