surprising that Mauricio and g.r.emlin have not recognized this pattern already played 3 years ago!

True, mauricio is being a little mischievous. Nevertheless, it'll be interesting to see how modern, state-of-the-art programs deal with your classic pattern.

Joël, please note that g.r.emlin is completely tied up checking the ratings of the submitted puzzles. His response time will be veeeery long. Will this game finish before Christmas?

Would someone please confirm that the 10-minute time limit applies to the time interval between two submissions by the same player?

It applies. This is not a LIGHTNING game (by any stretch of the imagination).
