[r-t] Five Rings Triples

[Alexander Holroyd]

I think I'm going off this.  The suggested touch (3H) is false.  Apart 
from the plain course and the bob course, the next shortest true touch 
with bobs only is 660: 6*(--pp-), which has queens and tittums but little 
else to recommend it.  The longest possible touch with these calls is 968.
